Meditation Fundamentals
Meditation is about optimizing yourself so that you make the right moves, say the right things, and think the right thoughts at the right time. It’s a foundational practice that clears the mind so you can be you. We all have something we need to improve upon, meditation helps us make the improvements. The cool thing is that it all comes from within you. You are the driver and the one who decides. Meditation clears the path so you can make the best choices for yourself. This is not self-help, this is self-development. Not in the sense that you’re building yourself up, but in the sense that you are developing your awareness and compassion. It’s a great way to cultivate space and openness within. If practiced correctly, It can be the tool that helps us be more present.
To do this without overthinking is what makes this practice tricky. It takes a lot of discipline and mental relaxation to master this practice and I want to support you through this journey.
I have worked with a meditation coach, Cayce Howe, so I know the value of working one on one or in a small group. Working with someone that knows how it feels to learn this practice makes a huge difference. It’s a heart-opening experience that will open the door to your wildest dreams and most real Self. I have cried over the phone with Cayce simply because I was doing the work. It is in doing, that gives us the most profound and heart-opening experiences.
