Meditation has become increasingly popular in the western world over the last few decades. Lots of people are interested in it, but it can be intimidating to get started for a few reasons:
(1) It seems mystical - don't you need a guru or something?
(2) It sounds crazy before you've tried it - what, sit still for 20 minutes? Just breathe?!
(3) If your friends aren't already doing it, you don't have the social support to get you started.
This VLOG is aimed at people who either have never tried meditation, or meditate sometimes but don't feel like you "get it" yet. I talk about how there are many forms of meditation - none are right or wrong, everybody has their own "right way" - and discuss my own beginnings as a meditator.
BTW - I only meditate for 10 minutes a day, which is perfect for me. I love it, consider myself to be a passionate meditator - yet, 10 minutes is plenty. I can hear the gurus crying already.
Let's talk in the comments! Here are my questions for this one:
(1) If you do meditate, what is your practice? Do you have advice to share?
(2) If you don't meditate, but are interested in it: What's stopping you?
