Why Meditation Fails For Some And What Works Better - Jim Poole
Do you lie awake at 2am with your mind racing, even though you're completely exhausted? Have you been told to "just meditate" and "just breathe," but your brain flat out refuses to slow down?
We cover:
What actually happens in the brain and nervous system when hormones decline, and why calm gets so much harder
The one calming brain chemical most of us are running low on, and why food and supplements barely move the needle
Your brain's five "zones," including the exact frequency for deep healing and the one for laser focus
Why relaxing music may not be good enough, and what's better to drop our brain into a monk-like state in about 4 minutes
How I got through hip surgery and crushing 2am anxiety without a single anti-anxiety pill
