Meditation and mindfulness are often surrounded by myths and misunderstandings. With the growing popularity of these practices, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by conflicting information. Here, we address some common misconceptions to help you better understand and embrace meditation and mindfulness.
Nope! You can meditate in various positions. Whether sitting in a chair, lying down, or even walking (with your eyes open), the key is finding a comfortable position that works for you.
Nope! The goal is not to stop thoughts but to learn to observe them without getting caught up in them. Think of thoughts as clouds floating by in the sky acknowledge them and let them pass.
Nope! The duration of meditation is not the focus. Even a few moments of practice can have a positive impact. Start with whatever time you can manage and build from there.
Nope! Meditation can be practiced in a secular way and is compatible with any religious belief or none at all. It’s a practice that focuses on mental well-being, not religious doctrine.
To breathe? Really? Meditation doesn’t require a large time commitment. Even brief moments of mindful breathing can be beneficial and fit easily into a busy schedule.
