This is the second episode of The Mindful Mindset. In this episode, I speak about meditating, how yoga influenced my practice and how I got to here. More, I speak about guided meditations, how they help you in the beginning but also how they can hurt your practice. I share some videos on Youtube you can find and apps you can use for guided meditations. We end this episode with an 8-minute meditation by yours truly.  Mindvalley video used for four categories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqp8LYtE7tw  — Timestamps: 01:13 The four-part series 02:42 There is more to meditation than you think 05:51 Meditation has multiple subcategories 07:51 The influence of yoga 09:57 This series will not tell you the one type of meditation you should do 12:40 Netflix isn't going to fix your problems 17:05 The four categories  23:59 Why guided meditations are good for beginners  25:45 How guided meditations are a short term fix 30:50 Please don't do this when using guided meditation 35:29 When to switch away from guided meditation 36:55 The platforms I've used for guided meditation and my honest opinion on them 48:00 The end of the podcast, some awkward shoutouts  52:08 An 8-minute guided meditation by yours truly — Music Intro & Outro: Steps to mindfulness - Calm Music from https://www.epidemicsound.com/ — My social handles:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.mindful.mindset/ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/gswRWB Twitter: https://twitter.com/_MindfulMindset  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/the.mindful.mindset/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/axel-kaijalainen-252009162/ — Link for amazon gift card (when signing up for a yearly Acast-subscription): https://open.acast.com/invite/r/theminfulmindset Two months for free on Skillshare: https://skl.sh/2xvpznc See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
