Trail Talk: Meet Your Depression With Mindfulness (LIVE from Joshua Tree)

This is my first trail talk recorded LIVE, on the trail, broadcasting from Joshua Tree National Park. I have two suggestions for depression, or depressed mood (blue moods)! Where do you start in the process of working authentically with your depression? Research shows the most effective interventions include medication and talk therapy. I’d like to add deep compassion to unearth the stigma of depression; and the power of connecting in conversation with friends, loved ones, or community about your depression. Today’s episode includes a reading of Terry Tempest William’s poem ‘A Meditation on Phelpss Lake’ and access to a free mindfulness/meditation tool to jump start your practice. viralmindfulness.com/free
