Welcome to The Irreverent Reader!

Soft-spoken musings on how I came to love ASMR and how it has helped me reach a meditative state and therefore helped my anxiety.

Today's question: What is your experience with meditation? Have you tried meditation? How did it go? If you have not tried meditation, have you ever considered it? What's stopping you?
