Mind Wandering Meditation: Quick + Easy Practice (for beginners, too!)

There are lots of ways to meditate, lots of types of meditation, and lots of different meditation teachers.

There’s no ‘one size fits all.’

And it’s less about HOW you practice, and for HOW LONG, than it is about WHERE it takes you.

Even as I say the word meditation, I recognize my own beliefs about this word, my own stories around what that means…

“Meditation is a long practice. It requires hours and hours on a meditation pillow.”

“Meditation can only be ‘mastered’ after years of practice.”

“Meditation is for people who have lots of free time (i.e. not me, not mothers with small kiddos).”

But here’s what I know: There are lots of ways to meditate, lots of types of meditation, and lots of different meditation teachers.

There’s no ‘one size fits all.’

And it’s less about HOW you practice, and for HOW LONG, than it is about WHERE it takes you.

The meditation in the video above is a mind-wandering meditation practice that I love, because it’s accessible: it doesn’t require me to listen to hours of guided audio or sit a certain way, breath a certain way…

But it’s powerful.

Maybe this practice seems vague - but that’s what I like about it!

When I take a mind-wandering approach to my meditation (whether every day or just when I need it), it literally changes the course of my day.
