Do you meditate? Have you ever tried it?  What do you think of when you hear the word, "meditation"?

Most people don't meditate because they think they don't have time.  But, meditation takes just 2% of your day, and can improve the other 98% in majorly significant ways!  That's an insane return on investment!

Meditation helps to reduce stress by kicking in our relaxation reflex. Meditation also reduces anxiety, fear and sadness. 15 mins of mindfulness meditation before making important decisions can result in better choices.  Meditation also lowers blood pressure, increases resilience, improves sleep, focus, sexual performance, concentration, and productivity.  It even changes gene expression, which is what dictates our optimal health or wellness (by improving batteries in your cells, better managing blood sugar & slowing aging) Mediation can even reverse the effects of aging by 8-15 years! 

I told you, 2% investment, to benefit the other 98% of your life in return!

As humans on the planet Earth, our cells are getting beat up - like potholes being beaten into a road - the blue light from our devices, UV rays, free radicals, microwaves, radiation from phones, etc. 

As we learned in episode 26, sleep helps to fill in those potholes - as does meditation! And when we give the body the rest it needs, it knows how to heal itself. It smooths over that road.

The three main types of meditation include: Focussed Attention, Open Monitoring, and Self-Transcending.

In this episode, I outline each type, and talk about the one that my family practices - Transcendental Meditation. It's effortless and pays out BIG TIME!

Schools are even implementing it as part of the "Quiet Time" initiative, and gaining massive results!
