Sharing Some Great Meditation Techniques
Meditation has saved me a million times over. There is no way I would have got through my healing journey without it. When my brain and body seemed to be operating in another universe, meditation would bring everything back into focus. I would literally sneak meditation in whenever and wherever I could in an attempt to calm my system down – in change rooms, in the car, in bathrooms! With my gluten ataxia, I could literally stumble down the street to the beach, exhausted from the energy it took to make my limbs move, meditate for an hour, and walk home perfectly fine. It was that powerful.
It has become a morning ritual for me – as important as brushing my teeth. I don’t leave home without doing it. Some days it may only be a quiet five minutes, other days it may be much longer. And visualization is a big part of my world too. I am a firm believer that if we want to build anything, it starts in our minds first. Also a major part of my healing journey.
I recently had a great chat with Dwight Hurst, the owner and director of Innovate Mental Health Solutions in Utah and the creator and host of The Broken Brain Podcast – an interview series about psychology, mental health, treatment, and all things brain related. Talking about how meditation helped fix my broken cranium seemed like a great fit!
We explore lots of tips and techniques to try – we are all built differently so perhaps an idea will resonate with you and you might give it a try. As we both agreed, there is no right way to meditate! The right way is the way that works for you.
Take a listen by clicking below. Thanks Dwight for the great chat and for all you do for brain and mental health!
Happy meditating everyone.
Namaste.
Hi Liis!
I agree that meditation is the key to happiness. I practice Sahaja Yoga meditation which has free classes all over Ontario. I started 8 years ago, and it has changed my life completely! There is a class in your neighborhood by the way. And you can sit in a chair and achieve self-realization. Yoga means union, or connection and Sahaja means spontaneous and born within, It is very empowering to learn how to master your own subtle system. I have attended public classes all over the world as I am a flight attendant. And I help teach/volunteer at several locations. It is completely not for profit, and always free the public. I would be happy to share more of my experiences with you and my personal transformation. I have seen so many people beaming afterward. It is always surprising to them. But self-realization, is the connection point, the starting point, in other words, just the beginning of a great journey to get to know your higher self.
