024: Become the Watcher of Your Thoughts by Meditating

Meditation often comes with a stigma of being religious or cult-like, but this is not the case. Sure, meditation may be incorporated into many spiritual practices, but you do not have to be a Buddhist monk to meditate. In fact, meditation takes many different forms and is a completely individual experience.
 
In essence, it’s all about mindfulness. Meditation is a deliberate attempt to be truly mindful of the present moment; to be truly connected to the present moment. Heightened levels of consciousness can be achieved in which you observe your own body and mind. Rather than experiencing, you are detached and observing, cultivating awareness and clarity.

In this episode, we’ll explore what meditation is, how to do it, and why it can be so beneficial. Included will be an exploration of some research studies explaining the neuroscience of meditation on brain health and happiness.
