And so, my friends, we have come to one of the more practical aspects of creating a mindful, peaceful, and purposeful life: How to build a meditation practice. On this fourth episode of Life is the Practice, we explore the essential elements of a daily meditation routine. We’ll discuss creating a comfortable, safe space to practice and what sort of seated posture might work best for you. Most importantly, you’ll learn about the importance of committing to consistency and understanding that the journey itself is your destination. I will also share some common stumbling blocks, strategies to avoid them, and tips for practicing even when the brain wants to lead you astray. Perhaps you have a headache or very little time left in your day. Maybe your mind doesn’t want to settle down, or your dog is barking outside. Still, you can do it. Your meditation need not be perfect. It needs to be whatever it’s meant to be – without judgment. So join us. We are all finding our way forward together on this path called life!
Are you longing to live in a place of inner peace, abundance, and confidence? Had enough of self-doubt, fear, and a nagging scarcity mindset? Then I invite you to explore my online course. It integrates all the teachings I use in my 1:1 coaching practice and the wisdom I've acquired over 25 years of mindfulness and research. Welcome!
