Are you looking for ways to bring down the stress in your everyday life? Have you been wanting to try out meditation but it just seems too "hard" or "intimidating" to quiet down your mind for long stretches of time? Meditation expert Jeff Patterson, author of The Yielding Warrior, talks to Risa Williams about the different types of meditation we can learn to do, and how to start in an easy way with developing your own meditation practices.

We discuss:
-Different types of meditation practices
-Getting back into the present moment
-How different types of breathing yield different outcomes
-How we can use what our body is telling us and what our body is doing as ways to practice active meditation throughout the day
