QUESTIONS I ASK LODRO IN THE EPISODE:

What is meditation, in your words?
If someone listening is a skeptic, how would you respond to these statements?

"I don't need to meditate."
"I don't have time to meditate."
"I've tried meditating before and I'm bad at it."


What's the difference between mindfulness and meditation?
How can meditation be especially helpful for someone struggling with anxiety and chronic stress?
How can meditation flow into other areas of your life and enhance physical health?
From personal experience—and from what you've heard from others—how are you/people different now than before you started meditating?
How often do you have to meditate to see benefits?
Let's say a listener still isn't convinced and doesn't want to meditate. What else can they do to manage anxiety and stress?
Is there anyone who should not meditate?
There are so many types of meditation? How do you figure out which type is best for you?
What does your meditation practice look like? Are there any days you just don't feel like it and skip it?
