These are guided meditations for all those who are trying to integrate balance, resilience, and stress reduction strategies into their busy lives. There is no experience with meditation required, I will talk you through each step. While its best to have as little distractions around you as possible, these meditations can be done anywhere, a doctor’s office, at. a child’s soccer game or during a lunch break- use what ever 10 minutes you can grab for yourself in any given day for this practice. Studies from University of Massachusetts Medical School show that frequency of a meditation practice is more important than time. My experience is that with a daily meditation practice, you begin to notice a shift in mindfulness, your well being, and stress levels in about six weeks.
I started meditating 8 years ago. In 2016 I completed a year long 300 hour Meditation Teacher Training Program, an 8 week course and 5 day Jon Kabat Zinn Mindfulness based stress reduction intensive. It is my intention to upload and offer free meditations once a week.
Others who have influenced my meditation practice are Dr. Dawna Markova (My co-author) Tara Brach, Kelly McGonigal and Rick Hansen. In 2017 I participated in his year long well-being training program.
