Meditation Is Easier Than You Think

Meditation 101

I have this incredible ability to take complex subjects and simplify them. I may have developed this gift as a teen in order to deal with my dyslexic tendencies or maybe I was just born with it, but I pride myself in being able to demystify just about anything.

Meditation is one of those things I had to take from my perception of having to become a Buddhist monk in the Himalayan mountains, to a simpler, more practical approach.

I started doing yoga at the age of three with my grandmother, who practiced it daily. I had no idea what yoga was or what it meant to practice it, but as a young child, I copied everything she did. If she stood on her head, I wanted to follow. If she sat in lotus position, I did too.
