I feel like the difficulty is this needs to have positive reinforcement or incentives, if you are not comfortable or it's unpleasant, you will avoid doing it a second time.

At least one must be prepared for some unpleasantness. All these sensations, thoughts and feelings bubble up. You kind of go through them. With prolonged meditation (like for days) it gets really strong sometimes.

The incentives are all the benefits laid out in the article and the comments here.
