> Yes, (meditation) can reduce stress, but, as it turns out, no more so than simply sitting still does

That's no surprise. If your type of meditation is just sitting still, that's fine. You don't need a guru voiceover to get the benefits

Is this a surprise? It's not magic. You're essentially giving your brain and mind the space and time it needs. That doesn't make it any less helpful with regards to stress, anxiety, focus etc

If we start realising all it is is sitting still (as in no music, podcast, iPad), maybe meditation can become more popular and we can get our attention spans back.
