How To Build A Consistent Meditation Practice

Door Sacha Stewart

Wat je zal leren

When you want to start new routines, it can feel a bit daunting. Where do you start, how do you build it, and how do you create that desire to show up day after day? In this practical program, I share tools to develop a consistent practice, inspire you to meditate regularly, and reap the rewards of all the benefits a meditation practice can give you. I’ll also talk about some of the challenges that might come up for you when resistance arises and how you can navigate them. You might be new to meditation, or perhaps you have been meditating for a while on and off, but simply struggled with keeping consistency. Regardless of your experience, my aim is for you to learn how to create a regular habit, and have the tools to be able to build a solid and regular practice, one that supports you in your day to day, helps you to be resilient and develops good mental wellbeing. Throughout the program, you will experience journaling activities and there are also some simple short meditations that you can use to build up the length of your practice, and a breath exercise to calm your nervous system. I will also share how you can use some of the features on the Insight Timer app to assist you in building your practice.
