Last year I accidentally hired a meditation coach. Seriously…. I went looking for a business coach who could help me with a specific business challenge I was experiencing and wound up engaging someone who teaches meditation.

Falling Asleep During Meditation
Friends who know that I meditate very early in the morning sometimes ask me why I don’t fall asleep during meditations.
