This episode is all about one of my favorite transformational practices - meditation and is a great start if you're new to meditation and have ever been curious about it but maybe have felt overwhelmed about where to begin or felt like you can't do it. 

My guest is that_meditation_guy on IG, Jimmy Wightman.

Jimmy is a meditation teacher and genuinely wonderful person, and I really enjoyed getting to know him a bit and learning more about his story and practice.

We talked about the similarities in our journeys in how we found meditation - both of us had a common experience of being involved in the dance music & clubbing scene before discovering meditation and being able to get deeper in to our minds in a more connected way.

Jimmy shared how his curiosity with mindfulness eventually led him to find a teacher who taught him meditation in the Vedic tradition, which entails using a mantra and how that was where he found his meditation home.

We talked about getting started on the path, and some of the common experiences and challenges that people often have when starting meditation and how to navigate those.

We talked about how meditation calms the nervous system and the impact of that in our meditation experience, and we also talked about the meditation experience expanding "off the mat" as our practice progresses and how that is a motivator to keep practicing.

Jimmy was kind enough to offer a simple meditation practice that you can use as well...it starts around the 42 minute mark.

Definitely follow Jimmy and check out his offerings to learn more about meditation.
