Most people think of meditation as something that is calming, healthy, spiritual, and beneficial.
Brandy did too.
In fact, she absolutely loved meditation. She practiced it for years…several times a day..and describes it as feeling peaceful, euphoric, spiritual, and incredible.
But around 2008–2009, something unexpected began happening.
At first, she didn't even realize what was going on.
And when she eventually recognized what her mind was doing, it raised a surprising question:
How could something that felt so good also be affecting her mind in a way she hadn't recognized?
That experience ultimately changed the way Brandy began working with her mind. Pasted markdown
And in the years since, research examining meditation-related adverse effects has continued to grow.
For example, researchers at Brown University have specifically studied meditation-related adverse effects and the challenges involved in recognizing and accurately measuring them. Brown University

In this episode, Brandy shares:
• What unexpectedly began happening after years of meditation • Why she didn't recognize it at first • Why repeated mental practices may affect the mind in ways we don't immediately notice • What growing research is examining regarding meditation-related adverse effects • One important thing to pay attention to if meditation is part of your regular practice • Why Brandy ultimately began working with her mind in a very different way
This is not about saying meditation is good or bad—or telling you whether you should or shouldn't meditate.
It's about becoming more aware of what your mind is actually doing.
Because something can feel beneficial in one way while there may also be another effect occurring that isn't immediately obvious.
And the more we understand the mind, the more intentionally we can work with it to create greater clarity, presence, happiness, healing, and transformation.
If meditation is part of your life, this is one episode you'll definitely want to hear.
