Combining Crochet & Meditation

This talk discusses the combination of crochet and guided meditation practices. Meditation is a personal practice and can be done in so many ways and in combination with other activities. Crochet, or crafting, can be soothing and grounding and help one focus on the meditation. Listeners are encouraged to bring their crochet (other other creative endeavors) to their guided meditations.

Sharing about thoughts and experiences is encouraged.

I loved Caitlin’s message , the way she is honest with the listener about her being on the spectrum , her being neurodivergent . I love attending her lives too . They are entertaining and she is very supportive of the people who attend her lives ,

Absolutely wonderful and much food for thought. Feeling yarn slide thru your fingers and appear as a stitch is so calming and satisfying. I knit and crochet. Just simple items these days.

After listening to your talk, I realize that I was mindfully soothing myself every time I knitted or crocheted during a staff meeting. It helped me to be present, but silent. Now I’m going to try doing my craft while listening to guided meditation.

I really enjoy your live events. Enjoy the summer. School will begin all too soon.

Thank you!

Thank you so much. This is totally awesome. I get it! Been crocheting since 2011 when we became empty nesters. Had to find something to do with my time to ease the heartache, I had the empty nest syndrome pretty bad. Crochet was so therapeutic & I didn't even realize the health benefit at the time. The repetition helps my blood pressure & eases my mind. Since then I've created all kinds of stuff for everyone, including grandchildren. Hugs to you for this. I will try to catch your live tomorrow, I'm working on a shrug, basically its one big granny square ✨️🧶

"some combination of sedentary and twitchy" - me too! I love this Caitlin, thank you 🧡🧡🧡

Thank you for this perspective! I crochet for a living, so I am always crocheting and have recently started to listen to meditations while doing it. It’s been great! When you said something to the effect of…. “each stitch is a part of the larger picture”, It was an ah-ha moment. To think that each stitch that I make is supporting my family and creating income that I can share with others really touched me. I haven’t thought about it that deeply, and you have helped to breathe new life into my “work”. I needed to hear this so deeply. Thank you! Happy crocheting!
