Meditation doesn’t require someone to get rid of all their thoughts, which isn’t even possible. While meditating can be relaxing, it is also physically and mentally demanding to train oneself to focus differently. People tend to think of meditating as a solitary activity, but it can be just as beneficial in a group setting. And people often believe they’re not capable of meditating, but the truth is that there is no wrong way to meditate—just trying can bring about positive changes.
