Listen Later

Think you know how to meditate? Think again.

In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, we're breaking down the 5 most common misconceptions that keep people stuck, frustrated, or falling off the meditation wagon altogether. Whether you're brand new, years into your practice, or just meditation-curious — this one’s for you.

We’ll explore:

 • Why trying to quiet your mind might be backfiring
 • The surprising shift that makes meditation feel way less like a chore
• What most people get wrong about how “success” in meditation actually works
• Why it’s not about how long you sit — and what matters more
• And the key misconception that might be blocking your daily consistency

If meditation has ever felt confusing, effortful, or just not quite clicking — listen all the way through. It might change the way you approach your practice forever.
