In this episode, Bill and Marty get into the practice of meditation. Marty, despite not considering himself an expert, shares his 27 years of daily meditation experience. The discussion covers common misconceptions about meditation. Marty emphasizes the core of meditation as focusing the mind and being aware of one's thoughts and sensations without judgment. The episode includes a short guided meditation and addresses the challenges people face when beginning to meditate. Bill shares candidly how he has always struggled with meditation, but Marty pointed out that the practice of taking his attention inside to connect with his parts is, in fact, a form of meditation.
