No special talent needed actually, all you have to do is start and even though you'll fall plenty you just don't stop trying. Life changes all the time and there are so many different experiences to learn from that you don't ever really " master" meditation. You just keep trying and remain open to new things others can teach you. I feel like it's important to understand that because then it's less likely for people to criticize themselves over their practice. You're just you, doing your thing and that's all you really need to worry about with mindfulness.
