5 Tips for New Meditators

Hello how are you? Today I wanted to share some top tips for those new to meditation, although this may be a helpful reminder to more seasoned meditators too.  This week I have taught around 50 people meditation and interestingly about 25 of those had never meditated before. I’m super excited by this and delighted that many people are now looking to support themselves in this way. I could harp on all day about the benefits of meditation (I’ll save that for another podcast ;)  As we start meditation for the first time we can encounter so many things and I wanted to give some top tips and dispel some myths too.  Hear me share and support you with the following: Tip 1: Distractions are normal. Tip 2: Emotions Tip3: Length of Practice Tip 4: Posture: Tip 5: Manage Expectations hyper drive and overwhelm.  Questions:  Should I Practise In person, Online or Self? I’ve tried it before and I couldn't get it. Does that mean it's not for me? I’m too old, I’m too young….. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have and I would love to answer them for you.  I’ve popped some additional support and links below so feel free to check them out.  If you would like me to personally support you online or in person please do reach out.  Much love, happy meditating  Susi xx Additional Support: Find and listen to my meditations here: https://insighttimer.com/susimcwilliam  Are you a teacher or guide?
