The hows and whys of meditation

Inner Peace to Go

Anyone on a quest for more inner peace has no doubt heard about the benefits of meditation. But even though the practice is simple -- just sit and breathe -- it can be so hard to do. Our thoughts race. We feel restless. Sometimes looking inside our minds can be uncomfortable and even scary.
Masako Kozawa, a photographer and writer who describes herself as "a teacher and student of meditation," has been there. She came to meditation at one of her lowest points in life, desperate for anything to make her feel better.
For her, the practice has been an unprecedented game changer, reshaping the way she feels about herself, her thoughts and her life.
If you've ever wondered if meditation is worth the effort, Masako's story will convince you!
Masako's podcast is all about the life-changing effects of meditation. Check out "Why Not Meditate?" anywhere you get your podcasts. And connect with Masako on Instagram @masakozawa_photography.
The excellent app we mention in this episode is Insight Timer. The poem I mention is Derek Walcott's Love After Love.
Have a peaceful week!
