Episode Synopsis
All the links - LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISONThis is a podcast about taking five minutes to be present.May is National Meditation Month so check out my YouTube channel and look for the meditation playlist. There are over 31 meditations out there and you can give meditation a try.I would say we are back into the business of the” busyness” of life after the pandemic. Time is a premium for most of us and we all have the ability to make choices about where and how we spend our time. When I say that I use my voice to heal, educate and inspire as a voice talent, meditation guide and trainer, I usually get a few responses like:“I could never meditate, I can’t stop my mind.”“Meditation is so hard.”“I don’t have time to meditate.”“People tell me I have a great voice.”“I’ve always wanted to be a voice actor.”“I want to learn to meditate, I just don’t know where to start.”Meditation is a practice. Think about a snow globe. When you shake it up, eventually the snow settles to the bottom, that’s what meditation feels like. The thoughts in your mind begin to settle more and more with practice. There are still days my mind has thoughts swirling around and around, and other days I feel very settled. It’s still practice.I really tried to do the 30 minute meditation practice. It didn't work for me. I started doing 10 - 15 minute meditations where I would sit on my own and that worked much better.Sometimes we just need a place to start. Let’s start where you are. Breathing is the foundation for a meditation practice. Enjoy this five minute breathing practice that can be done anytime and help with calming your nervous system and focusing on the present moment.It's a series of breaths. This is audio only it can help you focus more without having your eyes open.
