The Most Common Meditation Myth
Do you remember the last time you were able to completely quiet your mind?
I’m asking because this is probably the most common myth about meditation.
People often tell me “I can’t meditate because I can’t stop thinking.” You’re not failing at meditation just because you still have thoughts running through your mind!
The truth is, your mind produces thoughts just as naturally as your heart pumps the blood through your veins! When you sit down to meditate, just like your heart keeps beating, and your lungs keep breathing, your mind keeps thinking because that’s what minds do!
Meditation is a way to retrain your mind so that you can control what it pays attention to, and so that your thoughts no longer control you.
Through daily practice, you can learn to anchor your mind in the awareness that notices your thoughts and emotions – without getting swept up in them.
It is from this space that you can:
- Turn chaos into calm, busyness into balance, and pressure into peace
- Shine professionally as you tap into your inner well of clarity and focus
- Release stress, tension, and negativity
- Enhance your creativity and performance, and connect to abundance
I remember how many questions I had when I first started meditating.
My mind kept going to the relentless to-do list looping in my head, replaying the irritating thing someone said to me yesterday, wondering if I remembered to lock the door or feed the dog or fill out the form for my kids school, wanting to scratch the itch on my left arm, judging myself, planning dinner for tonight…you probably know what I mean. And it still does - although not nearly as often!
The thing is….you don’t have to quiet your mind in order to gain all the benefits meditation offers!
Meditation is much more effective AND enjoyable when you approach it from a different angle.
Learning how to meditate is straightforward, and the benefits can come quickly during 1:1 coaching sessions where you will learn how to meditate…without wondering if you’re doing it right.

Your mind will wander easily, and clear instructions from a teacher like me can help bring you back to the present moment.
