Hey everyone, I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 263 of YogaLand.

As I promised in last week's episode, I am going to offer a series of

meditations for the next few podcasts, so for the month of May we're going to be

meditating together. After so many years of doing interviews and

combing through guest pitches and thinking about things and reading things, I

wanted a little mental break and I wanted to also share the practice of

meditation with you. When I was first introduced to meditation many years ago,

it was through some more strict austere practices and while I think that

those practices are so valuable at a certain time and place in your life,

I was equally grateful to a few years later be introduced to Sally

Kempton and her form of meditation, which is technically really more

tantric meditation, but with her own spin on it and what I took from her was

that meditation can be enjoyable, it can be filled with heart and it can be

all about coming into a deeper relationship with oneself. So that's what I

want to offer you with these meditations. I'm intentionally keeping them short

and sweet because I really want you to do them and I want you to be able to

integrate them into any part of your day. So this one that I'm going to offer you,

this first one is a morning meditation technically, but you can do it at any

time and you can do it anywhere. I don't recommend doing it while you're driving,

but other than that you can do it in your bed, you can do it from your couch in

the middle of your workday. You can do it in the middle of a walk if you want to

sit down on a bench, you can do it before your yoga practice. All that I hope
