Meditation: My Story and How to Get Started 20

May 22, 2017 By Heather Leave a Comment

Happiness Mama Podcast Episode 20 Meditation

Meditation! In this episode, I tell how a stress-induced panic attack became the catalyst that eventually led to my meditation practice. I share my story of getting started, what it’s actually like to meditate, and how my current meditation practice compares to my first efforts at meditation.

I also explain how you can start a meditation practice in your already-busy life, and I give simple instructions on how to actually do it.

The benefits of meditation are many, and it’s been a huge blessing in my life. I hope you find this episode helpful as you begin or continue your own meditation practice.

Highlights:

  • How a panic attack prompted me to start meditating
  • What it was like then, and what it is like now
  • Gratitude as a benefit of meditation
  • Benefits of meditation, including managing stress and anxiety
  • How to start a meditation practice
  • Shamatha and Vipassana meditation: What are they?
  • Simple instructions on how to meditate
