Meditation + Breathwork for Anxious Humans with Acupuncturist Cayly Christensen - a podcast by Kat Lee

from 2020-05-15T14:00

:: ::

If you're like 99.99% of the people I know (including myself), meditation doesn't come naturally or easily for you.?

And yet…Meditation seems to be the magic wand that everyone is waving around. ?

  • Can't sleep? Meditate.?
  • Not motivated? Feeling lost? Meditate.?
  • Depressed? Anxious? Meditate.

But...Every time you sit down to meditate, your monkey brain clicks on, the thoughts race, you feel bored, the list of things you *should* be doing instead starts firing.?

It's just so uncomfortable. And boring. And potentially even triggering. And you're left thinking…"When does the goddamn peace and enlightenment come in? Am I doing this wrong? I am so bad at this." ?

Dear One, I *hear* you. ?

You're not doing it wrong. But you are viewing meditation through a one-size fits all model. 

Here's the thing. Anyone CAN meditate. However, the access point to meditation can look different for everyone. Join my fellow acupuncturist Cayly Christensen and I as we talk about giving yourself permission to approach meditation in a way that feels good to you and what that can look like.

HERE’S A PEEK AT WHAT WE’LL CONNECT OVER IN THIS EPISODE

  • What anxiety is and why sitting meditation can be a triggering tool for some humans
  • How hypervigilance can be a learned behavior from childhood even if you didn’t have a particularly traumatic early life
  • Giving yourself permission to use the tools that work for you and asking your body what it is craving in the moment rather than doing what everyone else is doing
