#5 Mindfulness and Meditation at perimenopause with Emma Reynolds

So many of us go through perimenopause at an extremely busy time of life.  Many of us have careers, young or teenage children and ageing parents.  Often we find ourselves pulled in all directions, often leaving us feeling run ragged and stressed out, making our perimenopause symptoms even worse. On top of all that, fluctuating hormones at perimenopause, which can cause increased anxiety and low mood, means it’s more important than ever to look after our minds.In this episode I talk to mindfulness and meditation teacher Emma Reynolds.  Emma is trained in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) and passionate about sharing mindfulness and meditation techniques which help us become calmer, more present and ultimately more in control of our thoughts and actions.In this conversation you will hear: How mindfulness helped Emma at the age of 41 after she had her first baby. A short mindfulness practice.The difference between mindfulness and meditation.How mind wandering is an essential part of a meditation practice.How we can use mindfulness in stressful situations.How mindfulness gives us back control at perimenopause.Simple ways you can include mindfulness into your daily life.How having the right mindset is the key to a positive perimenopause.You can find Emma at  https://www.mbsr-mindfulness.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mbsr_mindfulness/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MindfulnessBasedStressReductionLinked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-reynolds-mbsrmindfulness/You can contact me at: https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/ and https://www.pollywarren.com/Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
