Hello and welcome to the Get Your Globe at podcast. This is episode 20 with Jillian Lavender.

Gillian is a Vedic meditation teacher, a coach, mentor and a speaker.

Gillian once felt the effects of the long hours, non-stop travel and stress and started to burn out.

After learning to meditate, she quickly felt

more energized, healthier and more focused, and that's what brought her here. In today's

episode, we talked through her journey to meditation, how meditation has changed so many people's

lives. We bust lots of myths on meditation like, I don't have enough time to meditate,

or I always think when I meditate, so I'm not very good at it. We chat loads on how it can benefit,

how we parent, and introducing meditation to our little ones. For everything we talk about today,

you can find all the details in the show notes, which are at

Madelineshaw.com forward slash episode 20.

Right, let's bring on the gorgeous, the very calm and wonderful Jillian.

Welcome Gillian to the podcast.

Thank you.

Thanks.

It's lovely to be here.

Well, I'm very excited to chat to you because meditation is something that really helps me with my day-to-day life and who better to speak to than you about meditation. But I was wondering, is meditation being something that you brought up with? How did you first get into it?

Yeah, no, I was not brought up with meditation or really

religion or any sort of spiritual practice at all. In fact, I kind of thought it was all a bit weird,

I have to be honest. And, you know, I learned to meditate when it was a bit more weird. I mean,

it's much more mainstream now. You know, you have apps and you have mindfulness and all sorts of things out there that's sort of in the mainstream that were not around.

So I, showing my age, you know, this was 20-something years ago when I learned, I was living in Sydney at the time.
