AFM: How often should one Meditate?

JM: It depends on the person and where they are in their life. You get out of your practice what you put into it. The longer you are able to commit to your meditation practice, the more benefits you are going to experience over time.

AFM: What makes meditation so important?

JM: In today’s fast-paced world, the demands on our time and the stress in our lives make meditation more important, now than ever before. It allows you to be aware and enjoy each moment despite the stress. Overall, Meditation can empower you to discover your own inner stillness for an overall happier and healthier life.
