Episode description

Meditation is a subject full of misconceptions and misunderstandings, yet those of us who do it regularly can’t imagine life without it. It’s one of the best kept secrets around but fortunately it’s becoming more and more mainstream.In fact at the leadership level it’s becoming an essential skill.

Mark Bunn, author of Ancient Wisdom for Modern Health sums it up nicely when he says, “Twenty years ago meditation was seen in the business world as something for weirdos. Ten years ago people started to see that maybe there was something to it. And now, you’re at a distinct disadvantage if you don’t meditate.”We’ve both been meditating for more 18 years now and in this post and this podcast episode we wanted to share some of the benefits and insights we’ve picked up along the way.

Episode Highlights:

  • What are the benefits of meditation
  • Evidenced based research tells us that meditation increased coherence of the brain and supports neuroplasticity. That’s a fancy word for change in the brain.
  • Meditation also allows us to develop a thicker cortical wall in the brain which has been linked to a slower decline in brain function with age.
  • What is turbo sleep?
  • Meditation tips
  • Why meditating at the same time each day is beneficial
  • How you can experiment with meditation
