Episode 10: Why Do I Avoid Meditation?

If meditation is something you want to do… why is it so easy to put it off?In this episode, we explore the quiet resistance that often shows up around meditation — the “I’ll do it later,” the sudden distractions, and the feeling that everything else somehow becomes more important. You’ll learn why avoidance doesn’t mean you’re failing, but may simply reflect how unfamiliar it can feel to pause and be still.This episode includes a short, guided meditation to help you gently notice resistance without needing to push it away or fix it.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 you’ve ever found yourself avoiding meditation — even when you know it helps — this episode will help you understand that nothing has gone wrong, and that even resistance can be part of the practice.🌿 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.I also offer online and in person classes.
