Sam Harris does what few other teachers can, which is not just lead you through a guided meditation, but do so while teaching you how to inhabit mindfulness in ordinary moments in every day of your life. It\u2019s a fantastic course, and you finish with such a deep understanding of the shape of your mind, your attention, and your consciousness.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alberto P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I took away meditation just because I accidentally pressed it so It looked like I had meditated that day. So I deleted it but put it on again<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Yvonne Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditation is important.  To quiet yourself.   And slow yourself down.  For me, things I\u2019ve been avoiding quietly ask for attention.  The important things I don\u2019t want to address calmly ask for an audience, and solutions are quietly coming into focus.  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Stephen B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">That my brain is weird and I have to learn how it works. \ud83d\ude01Also that everything important is now, but I often forgot to keep it in mind.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abel S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditation for me has always been about my own self discovery and time just for me. I get so wrapped up in the hustle and bustle and go, go, go that I start to lose peices of myself. Meditation helps me to bring that back in and sometime discover something that was lost or I even discover something new about myself. Your meditation becomes what you want or need it to be for you.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ma Lle T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I just use it more as a reminder to slow down and breath more than to center myself. But I have gained the ability to recognize when I start to feel over worked or stressed because my mind will drift off and start me relaxing a little, loosening the shoulders and releasing the tension. This is something I can now just do and it only takes a moment of my time to stop and do it <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abraim Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">How long I meditate for sure. I think I need more attention, but I feel lack of concentration. Mabye equanimity is not so good.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mathilde I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;ve learned, as a beginner to meditation, how easy it is for my mind to wander into things that concern me.  It is a great thing to practice to help me adjust to learn how to truly focus and obtain a moment of peace within myself. Can&#39;t wait to see what happens as I improve.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lisa N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I learned that I am not as in love with my self as I should be and wish to add a meditation challenge for that. I must meditate daily to that 11 minutes. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joy E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am endeavouring to stop and enjoy the moment and meditation creates the space to do this. I focus primarily on the relaxation meditations before bed as I live a very high paced and stressful life and for me this time easing me into deep and restful sleeps. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Vicky U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hey the biggest lesson I have learned from meditation is the lesson of gratitude!
