Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 191 of The Mindful Kind podcast and the second episode of the relaxation mini-series!

In this episode, I've shared some of my initial struggles with meditation and how meditation has gradually become one of my favourite activities for intentional and meaningful relaxation.

Three types of relaxing meditations I talk about in this episode include:

Relaxing with each exhale
Progressive muscle relaxation
Visualisation
