I do want to stress the importance of finding a good teacher

Yes, I agree that its important to try to find an offline meditation group with an experienced meditation teacher.

However, some people have work and family commitments and/or dont live anywhere near an offline group, so therefore they have to do the best they can with other resources.

Therefore, here in the Beginners forum and in the Meditation sub-forum we try to suggest basic methods and resources which are suitable for everyone whatever they decide to do offline.
