As someone who has taken up meditation in the last 6 months, I can attest to it being a unique experience.
In this day and age, when there is a constant underlying pressure to be ‘doing’ something all the time, there is something refreshing about taking time out of the day to simply notice and be present. It can sound silly, but I’ve experienced first-hand the power of being able to hit the reset switch on my attention/concentration.
Guided meditation can be a great way to get into the practice. I use an app. But having a live guide and meditating with others in the room is a method preferred by many.
