Today's chat is one of the best chats we've had on the podcast and what a way to start our new season after so much uncertainty over the past year. I know how hard it has been for so many of our students and what better way to start season 3 than a chat with Mary Meckley, meditation teacher and one of the most calming, philosophical and knowledgeable women. Mary has her own app for meditation called Sip & Om and releases free meditations on her podcast called 'The Daily Mediation Podcast'.  We were lucky enough today to listen to Mary's journey of how she began meditating whilst living in Japan. How simply slowing down, sipping tea and taking breaks can lead to happiness.   At the end of the episode Mary kindly talks us through a guided 5 minute mediation which you can try now.. Why not try today and see how much better you feel afterwards. Slow down, have a cup of tea, Meditate and remember Mary’s mantra. ‘You are so worth slowing down for’ Why not try it today to feel the benefits. Like with everything in life, we need to try things and commit to them before we feel positive changes.   I really hope you enjoy this episode as I feel so lucky that Mary took the time to chat today, Enjoy, meditate and always be kind to yourself!
