It’s already known that meditation offers an endless list of benefits to its practitioners, but what about some personal stories? Often, hearing from someone about how meditation specifically helped them personally can really help us see the benefits, more so than some boring scientific studies that focus on “absolute truth” instead of the “subjective truth” that we each experience in our own world. Take a look at this list of testimonials about how meditation has helped these individuals. I ev […]

It was a fun ride, and I noticed many changes in myself over the past year. With t […]
