In this episode, Carey speaks with Rain Elizabeth Stickney, a lifelong meditator and meditation teacher.  Rain shares how she learned about meditation and the path that led her to becoming a healing and meditation teacher. She explains the profound effect that a meditation practice can have on us.  She also provides practical advice for how meditation can be incorporated into our daily lives and what someone should do if they think they’re not doing meditation “right.” In addition, Rain shares how she practices the pillars of coffee, surf, yoga, wine, and why it’s so important amidst our busy lives to find stillness and prioritize our wellness. Rain has a BA from Sonoma State University in Psychology with special studies in Relaxation Training, Stress Management, Biofeedback, and Somatics. She continued her formal studies with an MA from the California Institute of Integral Studies in East West Psychology and a Certificate in Expressive Arts Consulting and Education. Rain offers healing and meditation services from her home in Vermont through her private practice, Rain Elizabeth Healing Arts.  She takes an integral approach using body, mind, heart, and spirit to gently guide clients and community into their own natural wisdom.
