15: My Meditation Journey from Beginner to Advanced
Learning to meditate feels a lot harder than it should, right? Quiet the mind, blah, blah, blah. Meditation isn’t about quieting the mind. It’s about finding ONE singular focus. But sometimes, finding that focus can be hard to master. Take it from me. I could never quite get meditation down… until I did.
In this episode, I share my experience meditating as a beginner and now an advanced meditator. I’ll share what didn’t work for me and what does. Tune in to listen about meditation means to me and I’ll tell you a story of what can happen in of my own meditations.
