SHOW DESCRIPTION: When it comes to meditation, there are a lot of misconceptions out there. Does it mean just switching off your thinking? Does it make you happy all the time? Can you just start meditation immediately? What exactly is meditation, and is it the same as mindfulness? In this podcast (episode #224) and blog, I speak with mindfulness and meditation expert Emily Fletcher about common mistakes people make while meditating, the difference between mindfulness and meditation, meditation myths that are holding us back, how meditation can improve your mental and physical health, how to make meditation a daily habit, how to go beyond mindfulness, and more!
