Episode notes

Today we have a very simple, relaxing mindfulness meditation to help you clear your mind and drop your thoughts.

You can do this meditation almost any time of the day and for any length of time.

You can do it at your desk, walking, laying down, almost anything, though I wouldn’t recommend doing it while driving or operating heavy machinery.

This meditation goes well with today’s guest, Beth Banning, talking about connecting to your higher self or your inner wisdom.

It’s like you’re out on a date, someone may stop by to say hi, but you’ve got you’re date, so you probably won’t invite them to the table.

Now I don’t want you to be rude, but if a thought comes up, you don’t have to it to the table either, simply go back to your date, which in this case is your breath.

Alright, are you ready to begin? I’ll give you the count, and we’ll just go for a few short minutes. Of course, feel free to continue after I stop, for as long as you’d like. The more you do this, the easier it gets, the more you’re pressing new grooves into the record of your mind, and the more relaxed, and resilient your mind becomes...
