Instructions

How To Meditate For Beginners! In this video, I'm going to tell you, where to meditate, how to meditate, how to stop thinking, how long to meditate for, even how long before you start seeing the benefits.

Meditation has almost become mainstream by this point, but most people are not doing it right. Or rather, they are meditating in a way, that will not make the habit stick over a long period of time. My Meditation approach is more geared towards the average person, as opposed to the monk who lives in the mountains. For example, I understand that a lot of people want to start meditating in order to help them sleep, I cover this specific topic in the video.

I hope all you beginner meditators out there, become long term meditators after watching this!
