August 19, 2019 Does Meditation Really Help Mental Health?
I’ve never really liked the idea of just plain meditation, in part because I never really understood why I should meditate on nothing, and in another part because whenever I meditated on nothing, I ended up either thinking of more items for my to do list, or I ended up just complaining to God.
That changed earlier this year, though, when I learned an incredibly simplified method of meditation that is not new age-y or overly distractive.
So in this episode I share with you a simple way to find more calm in just 5-10 minutes each day.
But I also want to share with you some of my own tricks for deeper prayer, because studies show that both meditation and prayer provide benefits to your brain.
