6 MEDITATION MYTHS BUSTED
​
1 // You do not need an empty mind.
That's impossible, as we have over 50,000 thoughts a day. Meditation is about practicing focusing the mind, and less about clearing it.
​
2 // You do not need to sit cross-legged or even on the floor.
Meditation is best when comfortable. You can sit or lie as appropriate.
​
3 // You do not need to meditate for an hour every day.
Meditation, even in small amounts, can be effective. Just do what you can.
​
4 // You do not have to be religious to meditate.
Meditation is for everyone; the spirituality is optional.
​
5 // You do not need to chant.
There are thousands of meditation methods out there, many of which do not involve chanting or ceremonies.
​
6 // Meditators are not weirdos.
In fact, everyone is doing it now! Celebrities, athletes, and CEO-types find meditation to be awesome.
