I am aware that when we meditate, the goal is to accept everything as it is—no judgments, no expectations, simply to just be. In the past few days, I’ve been reaching deeper states of consciousness, and there’s something undeniably powerful about being in that space. It feels beyond words, beyond time, beyond place.

The challenge, though, is that after experiencing these deeper states, I sometimes find myself hoping to reach them again. That hope creates expectations, and suddenly I’m meditating with a desire, rather than just letting go. And so, the practice of releasing expectations and simply being in the present moment continues.

How Daily Meditation Helped Me Turn Chaos Into Calm

As I meditate more, I feel the effects rippling out into all areas of my life. Six months ago, I thought my life was chaotic. But I’ve realized it wasn’t my life—it was my mind that was chaotic. What’s remarkable is that the same kinds of events that would have thrown me into turmoil just months ago are happening right now—and yet, I’m calm. My mind is beginning to sort through the mess, and I’m learning that things just are. They’re neither good nor bad—they just exist as they are, and that’s okay.

The Unexpected Benefits of Meditation: It’s Changing More Than Just My Mind

I’ve turned my consecutive meditation days into a 365-day challenge. How could I stop now when this practice has become such a crucial part of my life? To stop now would be insane. Every day I meditate, I discover more benefits, and I’m not ready to let go of that. In fact, I want to share more and more of this journey with the world.

From Frustration to Freedom: My Journey to 365 Days of Meditation

Just the other day, I spoke with my mum and dad about meditation, and to my surprise, they’re going to give it a go! My dad, who’s been dealing with some anger issues due to big changes in his life (both my parents are facing some health challenges), actually suggested to my mum that they start meditating in the mornings. No TV, no distractions—just a few minutes of peace. I think it will help him find some stillness amidst the chaos.

After recording meditation practices for the past 12 years and helping millions of subscribers on my YouTube channel, I’m only now beginning to fully understand how life-changing meditation can be. The benefits go so much deeper than I ever imagined.

If you’re reading this, I hope you’ll give meditation a try—maybe you already have. If so, I’d love to hear about your experience. Let’s continue this journey together.
