Everybody meditates every day

Meditation = 2.5 minutes of effort-less attention.

12x12 kShaNa or seconds.
~Sw. Vivekananda, Raja Yoga

Given that, everyone meditates every day. E.g., a good cup of hot coffee drunk with relaxed enjoyment and attention throughout is also a meditation.

So what's the difference in spiritual meditation?

1. Object of meditation is inward, not outward

2. It is infinite

3. It is transformative

E.g., 1) Heartfulness meditation is on the heart and 

on the source of all life energy/prāṇa within;

2) pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam eva avaśiṣyate -

infinity taken from infinity leaves infinity;

3) a new meditative state is gifted daily.

[Spiritual] Meditation is effortless attention on an infinite object.
~Daaji in The Heartfulness Way

So practising meditation itself is not the problem.

Everyone already does that every day. 

But do so inadvertently.

Not systematically.

Meditation by giving attention
a) in a different, unfamiliar, direction, and
b) to a different, unfamiliar, object of meditation?

That is new and needs practice.

When the object is infinite,

attention or simple awareness also morphs:
from thinking to
 feeling to 
 becoming to 
 being and 
 beyond.
~Daaji
