There are a lot of reasons people give for not meditating – they don’t understand what it is, they don’t understand what it does for them, and maybe they think they don’t have time for meditation. Let’s take those reasons, one by one:

Your body, your mind, your spirit, your family, your clients and your patients will all experience the benefit.
