99. The Observer, the Body & the Soul Ft. Kara Goodwin

Meditation teacher, author, and host of the Soul Elevation Podcast, Kara Goodwin, shares what really happens when we get still, turn inward, and start listening to the awareness behind our thoughts.Kara shares how her life went from “corporate on autopilot” to complete upheaval in just seven months, marked by death, illness, and loss, while she was living in Italy. With traditional talk therapy feeling out of reach, she threw a metaphorical Hail Mary to a God she wasn’t even sure knew her name… and was unexpectedly led to meditation and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. From there, everything began to shift.We talk about why meditation isn’t about “shutting your mind off,” but about training your attention and meeting the inner observer, the awareness that notices your thoughts, body, and emotions but isn’t limited to any of them. Kara breaks down simple, accessible ways to start meditating (even if your mind won’t stop racing), the real benefits she’s seen in her nervous system, physical health, memory, dreams, and relationships, and why just one intentional minute can be enough to begin.Where to find Kara: https://www.karagoodwin.com/https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the showLove the show?
