I've been meditating with singular focus and it feels very boring, there are times when I get into a state in which my focus increases and all my other senses dissapear. I am completely focused on it. It feels repetitive and boring and I don't see the benefit in that.
Is this really what meditation is like or am I doing it wrong?
Diana has already answered very well. Meditation isn't a means to an end. It's the end. It enables us to clear our aura and increase our perception of daily experiences in order to better deal with them. It also shows us aspects of ourselves that were previously unnoticed. I would say that the rise of kundalini, samadhi (contact with intelligent infinity) and all kinds of results attributed to meditation occur naturally, when the meditator is ready. They are consequences of meditation and in my humble opinion, they must be seen as such.
I suggest that you continue on your journey and if possible also practice what you call mindfulness, because this type of practice helps us to consciously and real-time perceive our varied reactions to catalysis.
Depends on your path. For me meditation was a means to an end. The end is becoming one with God.
