Ep 203: Meditation for Beginners

Published Jan 16, 2024 Mindfulness meditation has changed my life. It has helped with my anxiety, productivity, and inner peace.  But even though I'd been hearing about the benefits of this practice (and even read several books on it!), it took me years to get started. Mostly this is because I thought meditating had to be formal. I thought it required a certain amount of time or a certain personality type. But this isn't true! Anyone can meditate. You can start as small as one minute at a time.  In this episode, mindfulness educator Laurie Cousins walks us through 10 tips for the meditation-curious, those beginning a meditation journey, and anyone in need of a refresher for what a meditation practice can bring.  Laurie Cousins is our guest today and she leads the meditation group that finally got me to make this practice a regular part of my life. Laurie has trained at UCLA and USD and specializes in trauma and resiliency. She is also passionate about mindful parenting, and facilities several groups with this focus.  LEARN MORE ABOUT LAURIE COUSINS HERE FOLLOW LAURIE COUSINS ON IG   FULL SHOW NOTES HERE JOIN JOURNALING for GROWNUPS HERE   SUBSCRIBE to 10 Things To Tell You so you never miss an episode!
