Meditation update: Transparency Wellness

Photo from my Instagram for Transparency Wellness

As you all know, I started a daily meditation practice a little over a year ago that has now grown ten folds. There are many reasons why I started doing this, but the obvious one is health reasons. Mindfulness meditation calms down my multiple sclerosis seriously.

I’ve been strongly pursuing & dedicating myself to building Transparency Wellness around this practice. Whether it’s the different certifications I’ve done with Yale, Surrendipity or that I’m doing with Leiden University right now. Writing my own meditation scripts and practicing them on friends and family has also been a big part. I soon want to create my Youtube channel to post my meditations on there. And for now, I have lots of “prospecting” in front of me trying to find business for Transparency Wellness down here in Aix.

And here are a couple excerpts from the meditation journal I started a couple days ago:

Zerooooooooooooooooooooo! I fucking love living in this city

I should’ve started this journal a week ago, but I’ll do my best to keep it up for the rest of the class.

I did my usual 10-minute meditation as soon as I woke up this morning, while still in bed. I do the “Daily Calm” meditation every day with the Calm app on my phone. Today’s meditation was about Boldness, which was very interesting to me.

This morning’s mindfulness meditation was about “Awareness”, which is basically mindfulness. As Jon Kabat Zinn often says, when you’re mindful, you’re aware of everything around you.

I also did the Leiden meditation labs of Week 3 today, which were very interesting.

In the sitting meditation, she had a very soft voice and good guidance with a body scan at the beginning. Then mostly focusing on the breath which the type of meditation I’m used to. I must admit, I do prefer when there’s ambient sounds in the background during the silences.

The other sitting meditation was similar and very mindful. I enjoyed this one was a lot better. I really liked the descriptions he gave. It lacked a bit of interval bells to keep your meditation practice fully mindful bringing back our concentration to the breath. I also would’ve preferred ambient sounds in this practice as well.

Exploring the difficult  I also did it as a sitting meditation. I like the part where he talks about “noting” when the mind wanders, because that has been kep to me in improving my practice. I also liked the “zoom out” he talked about.

All 3 were mindfulness meditations, which is the type of meditation I’m used to.
