Penelope Lane is a Clinical Psychologist, Personal Trainer and Mindfulness Teacher with over 30 years experience in her private psychology practice, running exercise groups and teaching mindfulness. Penelope focuses on helping women over the age of 45 to effectively integrate exercise, mindfulness and self-compassion into daily routines for optimal physical, mental and emotional health. Penelope conceived the idea of combining meditation sessions in gyms over 30 years ago but didn’t go ahead with it due to a crisis of confidence and having young children. After revisiting the idea several years later, Fit Healthy Grounded Women was born, with its flagship program – The Fit Tone Flex System.

• Now when I feel something, I name it; anxiety, sadness, anger, and there's a buffer, like a boundary, that has created a veil. It's there, but I'm not engaged in it.

• Breathing is my anchor. Breathing is my mindful process that I pay attention to. When I'm out and about in my life I notice that I'm in my head and there's lots of thoughts and I also notice that I'm holding my breath.

• I was bullied in Primary School. I was fat and and I had pimples and my surname back then was Boyle, so it was Penny Boyle.

• One thing I've chosen to focus on is my health. When I get into something, I get into it.

• I don't identify it as anger, but I think almost all of us have some. For me it occurs as frustration. I've been living with anxiety and depression for twenty years. I had some trauma as a kid which apparently is still impacting me.

• After high school, and when I discovered personal growth, and I discovered communication, and I discovered tough conversations, my coach kept encouraging me to clean up my past and make lists of people that I resented and that I was holding anger against.

I’ve lost 35 lbs since January with the help of hypnosis and it feels like a miracle. Hypnosis worked for me, it can work for you. Sign up for the Beta test and get 50% off the price of the program. And a guarantee to go with it.

• Mindfulness allows me to now give myself permission to feel my emotions. I don't fear them, I feel them. And I let them pass through. And I have learned to give myself that space and that grace to not always have to feel wonderful. Perfection is only a perception and it's usually not rooted in reality.

• Breathwork grounds us. I believe that it's virtually impossible to be truly mindful without being grounded.

• Book: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay

• I bullied myself for so many years. I belittled my needs. I bullied myself into believing that I wasn't enough as I was.

• Mindfulness has taught me to be much more accepting, much more calm, and trusting with love.

• Breathing is rhythm. I practice breathing very deeply in the mountains and in nature. Connecting with nature is part of my meditation practice. Breathing is a core component of that.

• There's a story where Pemba's best friend, who is Indigenous, her mother said to me, nobody has ever truly seen my daughter as Pemba sees me daughter. That's a deeper level of mindfulness that they're cultivating [in Nepal].

• Mindfulness for me means that I don't need to run away from any emotion and that I don't need to react to any emotion. I can just accept whatever emotion is happening to me right now, with all the sensations in my body, pleasant or unpleasant and that there's still space for me to chose what I want to do with it. Do I just want to watch and let it pass? Do I want to fuel it to attention and then increase it if it's a positive emotion? Do I want to process it so that it kind of disappears. Mindfulness gives me these options.

• My style of meditation is not about breathing. I've tried breathing styles in the past and they were not the best ones for me.

• In high school I had bullying experiences with kids who were much older than me. That didn't turn into a trauma because I fought back.

• Mindfulness has affected my emotions very positively because in my younger years I had a temper that was one of the tops in the universe and when I lost it, it was like a train wreck.

• Breathing is how I center myself. I swim a lot and breath control is a very big part of swimming. A deep breath will allow your gases to exchange.

• I've loved the idea of controlling emotions. Some you can't. If you have a child who's ill, I don't know what to do about that. But of ordinary garden variety things, I think it's a question of will. I think, do I let that get to me? Then I think, that's their problem.

• Breathing I consider so important that I've been taking lessons with a voice coach about deep breathing.

• I have been in many jobs during my lifetime that have been dominated by men. You can imagine that a lot of bullying came my way, so how did I handle it? Here's where it gets a little bit off-beat.

• I think I used to be so jammed up emotionally and cut off. Now I can be with my sadness, my anger, my rage, and my fear; and breathe into it and not run from it. It's incredibly empowering to welcome whatever's arising.

• I didn't learn much about breathing until I started to learn to meditate. Then I learned that there are all kinds of ways to breathe and breathe differently; breathe through the body, breathe through the nose, breathe through the mouth, hold my breathe, exhale longer.

• I was bullied and I, in turn, bullied some people. In every story, mindfulness would have made a difference. In Middle School I bumped into some big football player and knocked over his chocolate milk and he grabbed me by the neck and held me up.

• Aria: I was once at a talk with the Dali Lama. I was going through clinical depression at the time, in my early 20s. Someone asked the Dali Lama, what would you do if you were depressed, as a Buddha? First, he laughed and said, I wouldn't know, I'm not depressed. Then he said something which resonated and stayed with me.

• Seth: I would first set a specific time to practice because it's really easy to have an intention to do it but then other things will inevitably get in the way.
