All through March, our community has been building a simple daily meditation habit — and if you haven’t started yet, there’s still plenty of time to join us. Here’s a beautiful meditation from Henry, just for the Feel Better, Live More community. It’s amazing how taking a few moments of stillness, where we put down the to-do list and just drop into being, can really shift how we feel. Meditation is an incredibly powerful tool for transforming our lives. But like any positive habit, it can be a hard thing to start and maintain. That’s why I love challenges — short, intensive commitments that help us to really kickstart a new habit or reinforce one we love. Throughout March, here at Feel Better, Live More, I’ve teamed up with Zen master Henry Shukman and his meditation app The Way, to bring you our first-ever Meditation Challenge, to help turbocharge your meditation practice. After meeting Henry last year, I've become a huge fan of his meditation app, The Way. I use it myself most days and really believe in what they're doing - so much that I've personally invested in the company. It doesn’t matter when you start, committing to 30 days of meditation has the power to not only improve your life, but the life of those around you too.

Today is another short meditation from the wonderful Henry Shukman to give you a flavor of what meditation is and what it can actually feel like. Now, all throughout March, my podcast community has been building a simple daily meditation habit together. So far, over twenty-two thousand people have joined this free thirty-day challenge from a hundred and seventy-eight different countries, which is absolutely incredible. And if you haven't started yet and want to, there's still plenty of time to take part. Now, just to give you a brief insight into how other people are finding the Way meditation app, which is Henry's app, this is just one of the many incredible comments I received over the past few months. "Hi, Dr. Chatterjee. I have recently started using the Way. I have tried dozens of times to meditate, but never found any other apps useful. Three months in with the Way, I have to say, it's changed my life. I used to think of meditation as just another chore, but now I actively look forward to it and I
