Ep. 9: I Don’t Feel Anything When I Meditate…

from Why Can't I Meditate? · host Deb Phelps

If you’ve ever sat down to meditate and thought, “I don’t feel anything… is this even working?” — you’re not alone.In this episode, we explore the expectation that meditation should feel calm, peaceful, or somehow different — and what it means when it doesn’t. We look at why meditation can feel very simple, even ordinary, and how awareness is still present even when it feels like “nothing is happening.”This episode includes a short, guided meditation to help you practice noticing what’s here, without needing to create a particular experience.I’m Deb Phelps from Peaceful Wellness. I’ve been a meditation practitioner since 1980, a certified teacher, and I teach people how to meditate as well as guide those who feel called to become meditation teachers.If meditation has ever felt underwhelming or unclear, this episode will help you understand that nothing has gone wrong — the practice is simply noticing.Listen on Substack or your favorite podcast provider.🌿 Looking for more support?If you’d like more personalized guidance, I offer one-on-one mentoring where we can work together with what’s coming up in your practice.You’re also always welcome to join my free Skool community for support and connection with others exploring meditation.🌿 meditatewithdeb.com🌿 Free Skool CommunityWith care,Deb Get full access to Meditate with Deb | Peaceful Wellness at debphelps.substack.com/subscribe
