In this episode I cover what is it about something as simple as sitting still  and  watching  our  breath  that  evokes  panic,  fear,  and  even  hostility?  No  matter  how  many  reports  there  are  proving  the  mental,  emotional,  and physical value of being quiet, there seems to be an even greater number who refuse to give it a try. Of course, meditation  can  be  challenging,  and  even more so if we are uncertain as to why we are doing  it.  It  can  seem  very  odd  to  sit  there  just  listening  to  the  incessant  chatter  in  our  head,  and  we easily get bored if we do nothing for too long, even if it’s only 10 minutes.
