Lars Sandved-Smith – Meditation in Plain English with a Neuroscientist

Lars stopped by to deliver the most practical podcast to date.

Lars is a neuroscientist and PhD researcher at INSERM (The Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale) which is the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research.

Lars walked us through the what, why and how of meditation in the most digestible format. He uncovered what happens to our neurology when we enter a meditative state. He showcased what benefits being metacognitive has on our everyday lives. He delivered his thoughts on meditation apps (such as Headspace) and most importantly he busts the mythical excuse of “meditation is just not for me”

Stick around for a mid-podcast one rep max of meditation!

Thanks Lars for stopping by on your boat (he literally recorded from his boat in Spain!!)
