Meditation has been one of the greatest contributors to my personal growth in recent years. In this episode, I talk about how my understanding of meditation evolved from seeing it as a way to de-stress to viewing it as a practice that trains the mind and opens doors to peace and mindfulness. I’ll share practical tips, insights from neuroscience, and the Zen principle of the 'beginner’s mind' to help you start or deepen your practice. If you’re ready to explore the benefits of meditation for your sleep, focus, and overall well-being, tune in.
