Most people think meditation is supposed to be hard — that if your mind wanders, you’re doing it wrong.
In this episode, Light Watkins shares what he’s learned after training thousands of people how to meditate — including the five simple principles that make the practice effortless, enjoyable, and something you actually look forward to.
You’ll discover how to engage with your thoughts instead of fighting them, the most comfortable way and place to sit, how long to meditate, how often to practice for the best results, and why meditating first thing in the morning can completely transform your day.
Whether you’re brand new to meditation or you’ve been practicing for years, this episode will help you upgrade your experience and make meditation feel less like a chore and more like a treat.
