011 Understanding Meditation and The Benefits Part 1

Most of us have heard of meditation as a tool that can improve your life, often mentioned on a TOP 10 list of things you need to do to sleep better or reduce stress. But have you ever gone deep into the practice of meditation itself? Where it came from, the key benefits and shares on how it's personally changed the trajectory of both Mya and Ayanna's lives.

We also talk about:

• Meditation as a way of life and not just as a practice
• The history of meditation
• The 8 limb path where the first 6 stages lead up to meditation
• How to not get discouraged in your meditation practice
• How the journey and not the destination are the goal
• The purpose of meditation being a state of 'No Mind'
• Meditation as a state to find clarity
• Why to not attach yourself to any practice or tool

Resources:

• 8 limb path - Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Durana, Diyana, Samadhi
• Ask: "Who am I" in meditations
