Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo Feeling Safe in Meditation, with David Treleaven
Meditation can help us heal from trauma, but only if we feel safe while practicing.
By implementing strategies for safety in meditation, we learn to be present with discomfort without becoming overwhelmed. We develop agency over our practice, and in the process, we become empowered to direct our own healing.
In this episode, Sean Fargo speaks with educator, author and trauma-informed meditation expert David Treleaven about the tools that can help us feel safe in meditation and how to best offer them as teachers.
