When meditation isn’t working, having a toolbox of mindfulness techniques that support a more mindful lifestyle is helpful. Some days you may need meditation, other times you may need mindful movement like yoga or stretching, some days you may need creative tools like mindful listening or writing. Meditation is about feeling more alive and enjoying and experiencing more life rather than being on autopilot. In this session, we discuss tools to help those with trauma, find success with meditation.
Grief is different for all of us, but one similar thing is that we all will experience it in one way or another. Grief comes in different ways from losing people, pets, jobs, lifestyle, health, etc. There have been reports that the cumulative grief from the pandemic will torment us for years. So how do we handle all this grief? Are there mindfulness techniques to help us process grief? Join host Tracey Lynn Pearson (psychotherapist and mindfulness coach) in a discussion of grief and mindfulness and engage in a meditation.
2021 was pretty challenging. Many of us experienced loss, hurt, and trauma. New Year always brings about a hope of beginning something new, or maybe how things will just be different. We have this mass effort where we're putting forth all of this energy focused on being better. We push ourselves so hard and often miss the mark.
