In general, women's awareness and their energy bodies are considered more fluid. And so for women, i'm often focusing more ungrounding and centring practices. Whereas for men, there can be a tendency to blank out. It could be that whole conquering mentalitys an more pronounced because of conditioning factors. But as we wrap up here, what is one simple action that someone can take if they want to foster a meditative practice?
Lisa Erickson is an energy worker, writer, and meditation teacher specializing in women’s energetics and sexual trauma healing. She has trained in multiple contemplative traditions and energy healing modalities, and is certified in mindfulness meditation instruction, kundalini activation, and trauma sensitivity.
I found Lisa's new book ‘The Art and Science of Meditation’ as such a powerful resource. It guides you through ways to overcome common obstacles, easy-to-understand explanations of classic spiritual texts, guidance on choosing meditation teachers and retreats, and much more. In our conversation we explore how to build a sustainable meditation practice, how to find a style that suits you, the health benefits, walking habits – and doing nothing for 60 seconds.
