Mindfulness, Meditation & Everything In Between w Jennifer Innes

Living Your Life with Lianne Laing

Mindfulness, Meditation, Mindfulness Meditation How does one even approach the subject of mindfulness- is there an actual beginning , middle and end? Is everyone’s path or experience the same? What is the outcome we should be expecting? We’re going through an unprecedented time that's impacting, our life, our health, freedoms, work, finances etc. It’s a profound time of uncertainty, anxiety and a collective fear. It's been a year since I started meditating and I trully believe it is what's helping me stay so grounded during the world pandemic. I am able to come back to the present moment and enjoy its gifts and teachings - something I would have missed a year ago. I really hope you listen with an open mind to this podcast and realize how it can benefit your life, even if just a little. Joining us is Jennifer Innes, The founder of Ottawa Meditation & Wellness- Jennifer is a UMass and UCSD trained mindfulness, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion teacher. Jenn, who is actual a former spy (no joke) shares some incredible insight into how our brains really work, the benefits of the practice, the myths, tricks, tips she helps uncover and so much more. We dive into the process of sitting and being with our pain or suffering rather than skimming over it, as well as the more uplifting and joyful side of being more present in our daily lives. There is lots to take from our chat including a meditation at the end.

Jenn mentions a number of resources, books, teachers, courses and meditations in our chat which see says can be found on her "resources" page of her website: http://www.omwellness.ca
