Meditation Myth Busting

Meditation Myth Busting

On this episode I address the elephant in the room and do myth busting around meditation. Over the years, I have had so many questions about this and so many of my physician clients have shared with me their preconceived notions about meditation so I decided to create this podcast episode to address this topic to clear it all up (since you may also be having these same thoughts too I know I did)!

Here are the 5 most common meditation myths that I have heard over the years and they all start with this phrase: 

I can’t meditate because….

#1--  I can't sit still
Myth Buster #1 -- you don't  have to sit still

#2--  my brain is too busy
Myth Buster #2 -- you don't have to empty out your brain

#3-- I don't have time
Myth Buster #3 -- have you got just 1 minute? Michael Jordan makes the time!

#4-- it doesn't do anything
Myth Buster #4 -- there are so many evidence-based benefits including neuroplasticity!

#5-- it will just make me tired
Myth buster #5 -- it creates restful alertness and can be energizing

Listen for more details about each of these meditation myths and learn the incredible truths about each one!

As my gift to you, to get you started, I have a free guided meditation &  I threw in 2 bonuses--  2 additional free short videos, a breathing tool and a neck/shoulder release. So just go get it! Start meditating and getting all the benefits! Click here:
