In our chat with Dena…
We get to talk about meditation and mindfulness.
Headspace and Calm are the 2 top meditation apps that sit in the million dollar business. Even though meditation has been around for 2500 years, only just now we start to really appreciate it and understand all the benefits that come with the practice of this powerful tool. Dena’s journey began with a heartbreak that led her to seek healing. She tried to navigate grief, loss and difficult emotions using meditation. As Dena says “I didn’t know how to be human”.
The key to a fulfilled life is to make sure you are practicing mindfulness. That you are mindfully choosing and experiencing everything in your life, every single time. We get to touch base on the different types of meditation and how you can try them all out until you find the one that works for you, IF it does. According to Dena and her studies, meditation is not for everyone.
“Mindfulness is what you're paying attention to, without judgement.”
Finally we expand on journaling, the meditation practice Dena is teaching and the benefits of meditation. Some examples being stress reduction, better sleep patterns, memory loss prevention etc.
Success to Dena is:
“Be free to make my own choices that feel right for me.”
Dena’s message to women is:
“Trust yourself.”
