I wanted to jump on today and give you all an insight into my experiences with meditation, the benefits it can provide, and much more in the mediation space. Meditation has been a huge part of my life now for 7-8 years and something that has changed, developed and grown over the years. From a practice of solely guided meditations, to now silent meditations, I have seen so much growth in myself and connection to myself that I didn’t have before. I have gone from periods of meditating 400 plus days in a row, to having time without meditating, to now seeing it as an invitation each morning to begin my day and to get to know myself on a deeper level. I wanted to give you all an insight into the experiences I have had with meditation and the important role it has played in my life, and how you can tailor a meditation practice in your life to feel the benefits. There are some great topics I talk about in this episode and I hope you all enjoy! 

Here are some topics I chat about in the episode:

- My experiences with meditation 
- What is meditation? 
- The Science of meditation
- Common misconceptions about meditation
- Tips for building a meditation practice 
- Reducing stress, depression, anxiety
- The positive impacts on the brain and body 
- Improved focus, mood, energy levels
- Greater awareness of the external world

I hope you all enjoy listening and I’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback from the episode!
