Meditation Benefits – STP071

Episode 71 – This is the audio from my recent YouTube video all about the benefits of meditation. It was recorded on location, so the audio is different to the regular episodes. 

Look at all the stuff we covered in this short episode:

• The YouTube video this came from
• Modern meditation doesn’t need candles or the lotus position (unless you want them)
• Dan Harris and his panic attack live on air
• How he learned that meditation could help him 
• A bit of science research (it’s actually Martinos centre – but don’t tell anyone!)
• Some kinds of meditation
• Mindfulness
• Compassion (sometimes called ‘loving kindness’)
• Body scans
• Transcendental
• How I’ve benefitted
• Calm
• Lose the inner chatter
• Separating the match and the fuse
• How to do it
• Where the resource is

Here is the resource that we use and you may find helpful:

• Dan’s panic attack
• 10 Percent Happier App and Podcast
• Calm
• Headspace
• Jack Kornfield
• A YouTube channel we use for guided meditation
• The Martinos Centre research
