Ep. 75- Village of Women Meditation

Rise Up Restored host Becky sits down in-studio for an episode with information on meditation and trauma.  

Becky reminds listeners that meditation can be activating and this activation is not a failure on the part of the meditator or the practice of meditation itself.  Meditation is not one-size fits all and it is important to explore gently what type of meditation is right for you.  And it is important to use meditation with other tools (grounding, self-awareness, support system, etc…).

Becky then shares 3 Tips for Trauma Informed Meditation:

1- Stay within your Window of Tolerance

2- Meditate in safe spaces

3- Practice patience and self-compassion with your practice

Becky ends the podcast by sharing the “Village of Women meditation”.

“It’s a good reminder that you are not alone.  You have a village around you.”
