Do you need an instructor to meditate?
An instructor and a group can be very helpful to get started. An instructor can help you with questions or techniques and support you to stick with the practice. From the experience of many meditators and my own, it is important to be consistent in order to enjoy the lasting benefits and changes. An instructor can support and motivate you, especially in the beginning.
