I am a huge advocate for silence.

I know that transformation happens when we are still: we let ourselves move from doing to being, and we make space. Practicing silence helps us be more grounded, mindful, and present. 

However, this practice of silence is not the end-goal in all spaces. In many spaces, we actually need to be speaking up more, especially against injustices.

In this episode we’ll break down learning one’s proximity to power, when and how to use your voice, the importance of silence, and more.

Welcome! This series introduces listeners to what meditation is and how to practice. And if you’re not a meditation beginner, it’s also a great way to re-ignite your practice in the new year.

For each week of January, we’ll review a different foundational topic followed by an introductory guided practice (but you don’t have to do them in order!).

Today we'll discuss:

• Why is it important to focus on body? 
• How the body helps us get to know ourselves in a deep and intimate way
• It’s an intimate gift to tune into the body
• This is a body scan meditation and can be done lying down as well!
• And this practice can be used to help you fall asleep :)

You can always find more about meditation on the podcast, on the blog at https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/blog, and for business or team leaders who want to boost productivity and happiness on their teams, visit https://www.technicallyspiritual.com/corporate-services to learn about our mindfulness programming.

Meditation and mindfulness is about so much more than just the moments you do something like listen to this episode. It’s a practice that takes times to integrate, to explore, to address emotional challenges, and fold into our daily lives. I’m so glad you’re starting (or continuing) here with me.

Today we'll discuss:

• Clearing the mind is the most common misconception around meditation
• Prerna demystifies the process of thinking in a meditation practice
• She offers a technique of mental noting to help identify less with the thoughts
• This isn’t a process of analysis or doing, it’s a practice of being

Your voice is your first inheritance. Words are the vibrations that alchemize our thoughts, self, and expression into the physical, shared world. By becoming more mindful about our thoughts, our intention, and how our voice is the first outward expression of our inner selves, we quite literally change the way we exist physically in this world. And, we become more confident because we practice trusting the communication between our mind and our body. We talk about all this and more with world-renowned TedX speaker and founder of MindBodySpeak, Marshall Davis Jones.

Gratitude isn’t always simple. Where the line is for toxic positivity and transactional relationships? How can we cultivate gratitude in an authentic way? Tune in for Prerna's take!

Impostor experiences are not a syndrome, but a human experience borne from searching for belonging and worthiness.

How can we help this incurable phenomenon through mindfulness?

How do Competence and Confidence affect each other?

How does social media propel Impostor Phenomenon?

We explore all this and more in this Episode with scientist, professor, and author, Dr. Marc Reid.
