## Resource

Mindfulness, yoga, mantras—even wellness apps! We hear about all these ways to center ourselves, especially in relation to the practice of meditation. But what is actually considered meditation? What benefits do we see from it? Raj and Noah chat with Dr. Rashmi Bismark , a preventive medicine physician with an expertise in public health and meditation, about all things meditation and how you can bring the practice into your life.
