I started meditating around 10 years ago, but I learned about it a bit before that. I grew up in a Baptist church and I considered myself Christian for awhile, but I then decided to leave religion in high school, and that’s when I discovered eastern philosophies and it really resonated with me because it was more open-minded I felt as if it has “Proof”.

When I first learned about the idea of humans never living in the present moment and only living through their mind, that changed everything for me. From then on, as with every interest , I became obsessed. With meditation, you have the ability to live in the moment more often, worry less, have more control of thoughts that lead to action, and one of the most mind blowing experiences for me is the ability to simply observe yourself, and even the observer has an observer and it goes infinitely. It’s insane.

When I first started meditating, it was really uncomfortable, nothing was happening, but I’m always up for a self-challenge; I’m more hyper than still, so to sit in stillness for 30 minutes to an hour felt like I was conquering something. I started seeing legitimate results after a few years, the build-up was very gradual, but what I am experiencing now in my meditations are unexplainable.

I am advocating for meditation because MURLIN TV is built around meditation and I’m very curious to know how the human race would be like if meditation was a standard practice for all.
