Meditation is for everyone, even if you think you can't do it. We kick things off by busting some common myths about meditation, like it's not about silencing your mind or reaching some blissful state. Instead, it’s about understanding how your mind works and gaining insight into your thoughts and feelings. We dive into three main types of meditation: focused, awareness, and intention, and I share how each can fit into your daily life. Stick around for a guided meditation at the end, where we’ll put these ideas into practice and show you that anyone can find a moment of peace, no matter how busy or chaotic your mind feels.

This episode I'm posting on Stillness in the Storms and Inner Peace Meditations podcast because a few have reached out to me when they are struggling to close off their mind and meditate. So here is busting some myths and going over how to meditate and three of the most common types as well as giving you an experience.

Meditation can feel daunting, especially if you think your mind is too busy to sit still. So many folks, including me, have been there, feeling like meditation is some sort of exclusive club we can't join. But guess what? It's not about silencing your thoughts or achieving some zen-like state. It's really about understanding how your mind works and gaining a bit more control over it. In this podcast, I dive into the misconceptions about meditation and share that it's not about shutting off your thoughts—it's about being aware of them and learning how to respond differently. By the end, I promise you’ll see that anyone, yes anyone, can meditate, even if you think you can’t. We’ll also explore three simple forms of meditation: focused meditation, awareness meditation, and intention meditation. Each one has its own vibe and purpose, and I’ll guide you through them step-by-step. So stick around for the guided experience at the end, and let's make meditation simple and accessible together.
