Very interesting, especially the stuff about cortical folding, which I wasn't aware of. I found that once I realised that meditation was more a test of will than a way to relax, I could slip into it a lot more easily.
Before that I would get agitated as I waited for this famed relaxed state, that I'd heard so much about.
Now I am always up for finding more techniques to hone my meditation skills.

Yes it can be quite tough for people who just get started, especially when they're impatient!
Thanks for your comment!
