Dimity and Adrienne Martini, who both attempted to meditate for 30 days straight, are joined by life coach and meditation teacher Anne Van De Water, whose first experience with meditation was before kindergarten.After a long inhale and exhale, the trio discusses: why meditation brings us back to our essential selves; how the term "high maintenance pony" applies to us humans, even though we only have two legs; a one-minute, multi-level meditation that encourages grounded presence (Anne even demonstrates!); and how Dimity stayed calm despite Cool Ranch smells and Adrienne found grace in Iceland.
