Meditation, like many alternative medicine practices, is constantly subject to myths. In fact, the average person likely believes that meditation is crossed-leg chanting.
Here are four myths of meditation that keep many people in the dark:
1. You don’t have to turn off your brain.
2. It doesn’t have to take a long time.
3. You don’t have to tune out sounds.
4. Sitting up straight isn’t required.
Meditation can be done anywhere, anytime, as long as you’re able to focus and calm yourself. It doesn’t need to be strict. Find what works for you and go for it!
