i've never been able to master it.
@darkmere1983 Have you tried a 10-day Vipassana course?
It does not require that one either have or give up any belief.
They're "free", and at the end one gives a donation according to one's means. You decide what you can afford. Your gift goes towards the next student's costs of food and lodging.
The people who cook are donating their time; they are long term meditators.
The teacher teaches for free, has a job to support him/herself.
There is no obligation to continue - but quite a few people do because they find benefit in it.
