092: The Ultimate Meditation Guide | Practical Mindfulness & Finding Your Meditation Style with Rachel Hatteberg Walt
If you’ve ever thought “meditation is not for me, I can’t do it,” you are not alone! Even our guest and energy expert Rachel Hatteberg Walt felt that way until she developed practices that are practical, grounding, and relaxing. I know we can all use more of that in our daily routine, so in this episode, Rachel is busting some meditation myths so you can find your zen in ways that fit your unique lifestyle and preferences. After you listen to this episode, you can grab Rachel’s meditation library here.
Rachel is a comPASSIONATE and creative soul that thrives on alone time but can’t survive without her loved ones, the outdoors, and following her curiosity. She is one that gets stuff done but also stops to notice the birds in the trees (especially the two owls that live in her backyard!). She is a mom of 3, Speech-Language Pathologist, Meditation Teacher, Reiki Master, OBSESSED with Human Design, and Founder of Craftingood where she is supporting people in changing the world from the inside out.

Some key takeaways about meditation include:
An easy intro to meditation is simply bringing awareness to your senses when you’re doing a task. If you’re washing dishes, bring awareness to how the warm water and bubbles feel on your skin, or how the soap smells. This mindfulness can instantly calm your body and mind.
Keep a notepad near you or keep a running list on your notes app of all the random thoughts that you’re holding onto. Maybe it’s a to-do list item you want to remember, or anxiety you’re having about an upcoming project, capture it so you can quiet your mind.
When you find yourself feeling stressed and anxious, place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly. Take a deep breath in and feel which hand is moving more. You want your belly - not your chest - to be filling up with air, so focus on your breathing until you feel the hand on your belly moving in and out with each breath.
Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
