Why is meditation so hard?
I always share with my clients who are new to meditation practice: meditation is simply concentration. We tend to attach all sorts of extra feelings, expectations and assumptions on top of that. When we naturally find it difficult to meditate in a certain way, we just say that we ‘can’t meditate.’
How to Interrupt the Pattern on Repetitive Arguments

Mental Health & Natural Immunity
