On Becoming...7 Apr 2023

The Power and Potential of Meditation

In today’s podcast, we briefly discuss meditation and move through a guided preparation and one-minute mindful breathing exercise.

Meditation...is for anyone, and everyone. There are no physical requirements and there is no single, standardized, structured method of efficacious meditation. Guided meditation is a wonderful methodology for beginning practitioners and anyone who wants or needs gentle, kind, supportive guidance and coaching through the process.

Please note, and this is a piece that I neglected to mention within the podcast, that when you are moving through your one-minute mindful breathing meditation and if you are sighted, I do recommend that you hold your eyes gently closed. And, should you, at any point, feel unsafe or uncomfortable while meditating, simply open your eyes and you will immediately reground yourself in your surroundings. If you are not sighted, you can reground yourself by moving, by gently using your hands or any movable body part to touch another part of your body, or by any method that you’ve used in the past to reground in the moment and settle. I also want to mention that the nature of an audio-only medium will necessarily exclude many who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. My goal is to eventually add a visual component with closed captions. While I recognize that nothing can be entirely accessible to every human becoming, I intend to move continuously in a direction of universal design and increasing accessibility.
