Episode 49: Why is it So Difficult to Meditate? - Part 1

Meditation can be difficult, especially in the beginning, and it's easy to become quickly frustrated or to just give up. This episode is part one of a three-part series where you're going to go on a journey into the basics of meditation. If that sounds like you, this episode, and the next two episodes are for you!

In this episode, we are going to answer the question... why is it so difficult to meditate?

The answer is powerful, and I think it's going to surprise you.

 Together we unpack:

• The misconception that people with chronic illness can’t meditate. (2:18)
• Hitting rock bottom - 3 times. (4:50)
• Why meditation is essential when your body is in a disease state. (6:58)
• Understanding our brain and brain waves. (8:50)
• The benefits of meditation. (10:57)
• Three reasons meditation can be difficult. (11:42)
