In today’s episode I want to talk about meditation, what it has done for me, as well as how it can help you connect your emotions, awareness, and actions. I want to guide you all through my meditation process and hopefully allow you to discover a new daily routine.

Today’s world is noisy and full of distractions. With constant distractions, it is easy to become lazy and complacent, ignoring the gifts around you. The act of meditation, stillness, and silence is more needed now than ever. A mind is a strong tool, and tapping into peace and silence at any time is invaluable.

Anything can be meditative. Chores like dishwashing, gardening and cleaning can become meditation by using focus and presence. There are many gifts in this life, and being able to come to the silence and stillness whenever you need to is one of them.

When it comes to my meditation practice, I sit on the floor and start to engage my breath, taking full breaths, without exerting or straining. Envisioning my breath filling my body and then being expelled begins to help clear the racing thoughts. Meditation isn’t a race. This is your space. If you have to be somewhere, set a timer.

Later in the episode, I would like you to follow along with me as I guide you through a meditation. Find somewhere where you can be comfortable; somewhere that is quiet and that you won’t be disturbed. This will only be a short meditation, but I hope that it can demonstrate the benefits of this practice.
