Meditation for Modern Motherhood with Laura Coleman of Be.Modern Meditation {S2E2}
Listen on:
Today I welcome Laura Coleman of Be.Modern Meditation onto the podcast. Laura is a meditation expert who started meditating when her own two children were quite young and discovered the profound, life-changing effects meditation had on her and her family.
In this episode we talk about:
How Laura started meditating and how it caused a powerful shift in her parenting method
The science of meditation and the physiological changes your brain goes through when you meditate...and equally why it sometimes feels impossible to control our reactions
How meditating can help mothers in the early days
How to get started and stick to a routine
This is the sort of episode I wish I could shout about from the rooftops and distribute to every mum as they leave the maternity ward, because I think it’s really just so important, and could make all the difference to how we experience motherhood.
I was really inspired to get going with a regular meditation practice after this episode, and I hope it inspires you too.
Laura's top tips to get started on meditation:
Download the Insight Timer app and listen to her 5-minute meditation
Set yourself a challenge to listen to the meditation once a day for three days or a week
Find a community for support and accountability (Laura runs a free Facebook group)
Start where you are - don't try and change your routine to make it happen; fit it into the day where you can naturally bolt on a meditation
Let go of needing it to be perfect - do it wherever you are
Since our interview, Laura has launched a free short course called Ninja Mind Skills Training Series which I highly recommend signing up to as a starting point!
