The #1 Reason Most People Avoid Meditation, How to overcome it, and How to finally enjoy it
Why is there so much fear surrounding meditation?
We fear what we don’t understand, this is true. We also fear that which we know but have not explored.

As an athlete growing up the emphasis was always on the physical body. I knew the importance of keeping a clear head and stay focused on the game but somehow our western society misses the essence of mental health.
We are quick to reach for prescriptions to help with attention deficit instead of training the mind like we would for a marathon.
