I have to admit… I’m a bit of a sceptic.

However, I’ve had so many people recommend meditation to me in the past.

Successful people.

People I have a lot of respect for.

In fact, some of the previous podcast guests, some big names, have shared with me how powerful meditation has been for them, both personally and for their trading.

But it’s not just traders, many successful business people swear by it too.

So, what’s all the fuss about?

I’m always on the lookout for anything extra that can give us an edge in the markets, so could meditation be something us traders can harness to our benefit?

Or is it all just some weird mumbo jumbo sham?

Well it’s time to find out, so in this episode I speak to Adam Grimes about meditation and trading, including:

  • What is meditation, and does it actually work?
  • What are the benefits and drawbacks of meditation and can it help traders become better?
  • How to get started and what to expect.

This is only a short episode, so even if you’re a sceptic like me and think this may have nothing to do with trading, I recommend you take a listen anyway.

Try to approach it with an open mind and form your own opinion from there, so let’s jump over to our chat with Adam Grimes .

    almost… Episode 027 give the answer, if you try hard to solve a problem your are fixed on the problem – you may find an answer continue to focus. Or instead do something completely different, only constrain: something quite, for yourself. It doesn’t matter so much if this would be meditation, go for a walk with your dogs or sit on the beach and liste to the waves – often exactly when you didn’t expect it the answer will pop into you head. In psychology, this is termed convergent and divergent thinking, interesting concept by the way.
