- The different kinds of meditation that are better for different ailments
- How soon you should see results
- How mediation actually reverses the aging of the brain
Pam’s notes:
- Even though the recommendation is eventually 30 min/day, 3-5 minutes is a great place to start and there is plenty of evidence that suggest this short time can make a difference.
- I love that Sara says her meditation practice is all over the place…and that’s okay! If one week you meditate 6 days and the next week only 2, keep it up. It all makes a difference!
