Pues, te cuento que son falacias, hoy conoceremos qué es la meditación, características de esta y qué impacto tiene en el cerebro a nivel estructural, anatómico y comportamental. Al final ¿Meditar cambia nuestro cerebro?

Parece un episodio muy complejo, pero no te equivoques, aprenderás mucho.

¿Meditar cambia nuestro cerebro?

El Mohán es una de las leyendas más temidas y conocidas en las zonas ribereñas de Colombia, especialmente cerca del río Magdalena. Se dice que es un ser mitológico, mitad hombre y mitad monstruo, con una gran barba y ojos brillantes como brasas. Vive en cuevas cerca de los ríos, donde guarda tesoros escondidos.

El Mohán es conocido por ser un ser muy celoso y caprichoso. A menudo asusta a los pescadores, hundiendo sus canoas o enredando sus redes de pesca. También es famoso por robar mujeres jóvenes y hermosas para llevarlas a su cueva, donde las retiene por un tiempo antes de liberarlas.

A pesar de su naturaleza temible, algunas versiones cuentan que si logras hacerle una ofrenda adecuada, como tabaco o aguardiente, puede volverse más amigable y ayudarte a encontrar oro o protegerte en el río.

EP 15. HOW TO USE REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS

June and Yuli have a talk about Chinese Blind Date, this episode is part 1: What's Chinese Blind Date, you will learn how to say 【tradition,social context】 ect. (This is casual talk so there're some repetition and unnecessary words, which is also very natural authentic dialogue.)
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
1st time: listen without looking at the text.
2nd time: look at the text and write down the new words, later look up the dictionary. 
3rd time: listen again without looking at the text.
4th time: repeat after it without looking at the text.
-------------------------------------------------- 
June：第一个问题，什么是中国式相亲？
Yuli：我觉得这个跟中国的（这个）文化传统、社会背景关系还挺大的，就是到了一定的年纪，父母会觉得你应该结婚了，然后会通过亲戚、通过朋友去帮你介绍一些男生女生给你认识。然后这个前提一般是以结婚为基础的这种。
June：你觉得在中国相亲大概是从多大父母会开始给你介绍对象？
Yuli：我自己的经验是，我们一般是读书的时候，父母说不能早恋，不可以谈恋爱，但是你一毕业开始工作他们就觉得你要赶紧找对象，赶紧结婚，所以我自己的经验是毕业22、 23的时候。但是后来我听周围的人说，有的人是从还在读大学的时候开始，可能父母家里已经开始安排相亲了，感觉这个趋势有点越来越早（的感觉）。
June：我自己也是从大学毕业后工作了一年吧，才开始相亲的。周围的很多朋友，他们也差不多是在大学毕业之后开始相亲。然后很多都是通过相亲、结婚，现在都已经有了自己的小宝宝了。
Yuli：我蛮多朋友也是，如果你本来没有谈恋爱的对象的话，基本上都是回老家以后，开始工作以后周围的人帮你介绍对象相亲，然后结婚生小孩。

If this is the kind of vocabulary that you would find useful then feel free to book some of my time and let's get to work! I look forward to meeting you.
