A darkened room. A cold floor with a thin mat curled underneath you. A thick silence that feels like it can choke you. A head full of everything - buzzing, panicking and loud. The minutes tick by like hours. A gong sounds.

This is how Sam feels about meditation - a strong dislike you could say. But Lea on the other hand is a meditation queen, building an almost daily practise into a very busy like and reaping the so called benefits. So who is correct? On this episode we explore our different feelings about meditation, how to make it work for you and how a dark cold room is probably not the place to start. At the end of the podcast you might not be a convert - but you'll have lots of tip to quiet your mind and crush your anxiety!
