About this episode
In this episode, Elena is joined by Jillian Lavender, co-founder of the London and New York Meditation Centers, to discuss her book 'Why Meditate? Because it works' and the enduring relevance of meditation. Jillian shares her journey into meditation and becoming a Vedic meditation teacher. She debunks common myths about meditation, emphasizing that it's not about stopping thoughts but embracing practices that offer numerous life benefits. Jillian explains the deep physiological and psychological effects of regular meditation, such as improved brain function, resilience, and emotional balance, and highlights meditation's potential role in health and creativity. The conversation concludes with inspirations for the coming year and insights Jillian would give to her younger self.
