A Simple Way To Meditate

from Sparked! · host Cara Bradley

Most people quit meditation because they start in the wrong place, eyes closed, focused inward, fighting distraction from the first minute. In this episode, Cara shares how she actually built a daily meditation practice: not through breathwork or apps, but by anchoring her attention on ordinary things, two trees outside her porch, the silence of a drive, the process of chopping vegetables. She unpacks the real meaning of meditation (the Tibetan word gom, "to become familiar with") and offers a simple way to start your own practice today, no cushion required.Subscribe to Sparked on Substack: https://carabradley.substack.comMore on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sparkedwithcara?sub_confirmation=1Website: https://carabradley.net
