I started practicing mindfulness several years ago to help cope with mild anxiety. Before I started practicing, I had this perception that meditation in general was only for the deeply spiritual, and that meditation involved believing in the concept of chakras and having a spirit. It wasn’t until I came across several resources by both Sam Harris and Jon Kabat-Zinn that I realized my perception of mindfulness was wrong, and that practicing mindfulness doesn’t require you to be spiritual or religious. I’m hoping that this site will help others who may have the same perceptions who might be missing out because of these ideas.
