Myth #2: Meditation is a solitary practice.
There are various methods to meditate with others and benefit from a group practice. Meditation workshops and resources for all ages and backgrounds have skyrocketed in popularity especially after the COVID pandemic.
Meditation has grown rapidly in the US. In 2017, 14% of Americans meditated, up from 4% in 2012. Meditation programs and resources are spreading nationwide due to their popularity.
Meditation classes are a terrific opportunity to learn the fundamentals and meet other meditators. Community organizations, yoga studios, and mindfulness centers offer senior meditation sessions. Beginners may meet new people and start meditating in these encouraging courses.
Home-meditation classes and apps are also available. These materials provide home-based guided meditations and teaching. Several online courses include forums or discussion groups for meditators to share their experiences.
