Oh I totally agree! I will also say that the type of meditation that makes a person feel comfortable can change, so being open minded is important. Speaking for myself sometimes I absolutely must do a group meditation that is guided. Other times I must do a silent solo meditation. One style isn't better than the other it just means that's what I need in that moment.
