Welcome to my meditation podcast, where I'll be sharing invaluable insights from my 15-year journey of practicing and teaching yoga and meditation. If you're new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this episode is perfect for you.

In this installment, we delve into the significance of discovering the ideal sitting position, as well as exploring the profound connection between yoga and meditation. Learn about the transformative power of breath-focused meditation, which can bring about inner calm and mindfulness.

Creating a serene meditation space is essential, and we'll explore various techniques to help you achieve that. Discover the benefits of the third eye drishti, aromatherapy, and the soothing effects of 432 Hz music.

Throughout this podcast, we'll also touch upon the transformative potential of affirmations, sleep meditations, and the importance of maintaining a consistent practice.

I'll also share a personal and challenging story from over a decade ago when I attended a silent meditation retreat in Thailand. The experiences I gained from that retreat still resonate with me today.

If you're seeking personalized guidance and support, consider joining my ⁠one-on-one meditation coaching⁠, where we can tailor the practice to suit your individual needs.

Let's embrace this transformative journey together, as we cultivate inner peace and spiritual growth. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, there's always something new to discover on this path. Join me in exploring the profound benefits of meditation for a more mindful and fulfilling life.

If you enjoy my meditations and would like to leave a gratuity, ⁠⁠⁠⁠you can buy me a coconut⁠⁠⁠⁠! I drink a lot of coconuts living on Koh Phangan, so when I receive one from a student, client or someone that enjoys my meditations, it warms my heart and brightens my day as helps me to create more free content to share with others. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a coconut here⁠⁠
