I feel that the feeling of boredom and the fear of nothingness are central in the spiritual awakening, one of the most trickiest pitfalls that can block one for eons in the path to spiritual developme

I find it hard to meditate, I get bored and then agitated and restless as soon as I begin meditating. This stress compels me to stop.

Emptiness = Voidness = Nothingness = Shunyata

Fear of Emptiness = horror vacui
