Ep. 58: Demystifying Meditation - Why It's Vital and How to Dive In

If you're anything like me, you've heard that meditation is powerful and you've thought about trying it, but you don't really know how to get started.  What is the right way to meditate? Why is meditation so powerful for mindfulness? Is it really a self-care strategy that you should make time for? Let's talk about it. Angela Smith, Meditation Teacher, joins me on today's episode to explain how meditation is powerful for our brains and our mind-body connection.  She explains this with a metaphor of trains coming and going at a train station - and that picture will help so much to clarify why a few minutes each day to meditate is worth your time. Angela walks us through silent meditation, her favorite meditation app, and also a five senses meditation to use while walking (that I think you'll love). Find Angela on Instagram at @_thetravelingmind and check out her website at www.sayhellocollective.com.  Follow and stay tuned for the meditation offers she mentioned! Listen in to the Nostalgia OMG Teach Me playlist on Spotify or Amazon Music and check out ColorStreet nails at www.omgteachme.com/recommendations. All the podcast resources are always at www.omgteachme.com and you can grab your free Stop Self Sabotaging mini-series there too!Find the GreenSynergy Elixir and Energy Fizz duo at cherylpfischer.com/greens.
