Meditational journaling. Meditational journaling isn't about sitting still for several hours on end, according to today's guest expert Sandra Johnson, but rather a guided practice inspired by famous quotes and mindfulness activities. In her beautiful book, “The Mind Body and Peace Journal”, her emphasis is being fully in the present moment for mental and physical wellbeing. In our interesting interview, she recalls her difficult journey with prison inmates who spent long durations in lockdown due to mental illness and violent tendencies. It is here that her clinical experience led her to meditational journaling, for remarkable results.
Welcome into this insightful interview with Sandra Johnson as we explore the mind and body peace techniques together. Many of these exercises are focused on the natural world, because there's a lot of scientific proof about connecting to the present moment… even if it's something as simple as just sitting by the window to help improve our mental health and physical health. Sandra talks about a study at UCLA that showed that people purposefully on a regular basis, got outdoors, unplugged from computers and the cell phones and everything and instead spent 10-15 minutes outdoors…they improved immune system, cardiovascular health and had several other benefits. So enjoy this episode of “Call IT in With Dar’ and our special guest Sandra Johnson.
