Why I Stopped Chasing Perfect Meditation

Many of us begin meditation believing we're supposed to clear our minds, stop our thoughts, or reach a perfect state of calm. I spent years chasing that ideal before realizing it was keeping me from the very thing I was looking for.In this reflective talk, I share why I stopped striving for the "perfect" meditation and what changed when I began meeting each practice with curiosity instead of judgment. Meditation isn't about getting it right—it's about learning to be present with whatever is here.If you've ever felt like you're failing at meditation because your mind wanders or your practice doesn't look the way you think it should, this conversation is for you.
