Did you know? There are numerous benefits to meditating. In fact, True Activist compiled a list of 76 benefits of meditating a while back. Some positive effects that result from taking the time to quiet the mind, as well as allowing the stresses and frustrations of daily life to fade away, include:
- A decrease in depression
- Improved feelings of self-confidence
- Regulation of mood and anxiety disorders
- A reduction in stress
- An increase of grey matter in the brain
- Improvement in processing and decision-making
- An improvement of one’s pain tolerance
- A pain reduction that works better than morphine
- Improvement of learning and self-awareness
… and much, much more!
However, sometimes sitting for 10-15 minutes and “quieting one’s mind” is easier said than done. In this case, the guided meditation below might be the perfect go-to for those who are tired of conjuring false platitudes about the world.
Warning: If you are easily offended by strong language, this may not be the meditation for you…

I do not know why that meditation absolutely cracks me up. I’ve listened to it twice and both times I had tears – it’s so, well…almost blasphemous, and such wonderful comic relief for those of us who get so serious about meditating and life….
Oldie but goodie ! LMAO every time.
