Meditation Is Not Great For Everyone

It's not “don’t meditate” but rather, that meditation is like many things — great for some people, but not necessarily for everyone.

If you’ve struggled with traditional forms of meditation, yet still crave a way to settle your mind and ease your anxiety, happily, there are other approaches that can create a similar kind of mental expansiveness to that offered by meditation. These techniques don’t have nearly the same fervor or body of research backing them, but they are valuable alternatives, especially for those of us who find meditation unbearable rather than unburdening.
