Ready for a guided meditation? Please enjoy Dr. Chantell Douglas’s offering below.
Welcome to the seventeen episode of the Wisdom for Wellbeing Podcast. On this episode I interview Dr. Chantell Douglas, clinical psychologist, yoga and meditation teacher, and compassionate human.
Dr. Douglas shares her journey from exploring mindfulness academically to turning her exploration inward through her own practice – all based on the compelling research she was compiling. This interview is so timely, given the increasing social distancing there is an opportunity to turn inwards and navigate new ways around the ‘old brain’ structures to connecting with your compassion (for yourself and others). In fact, Dr. Douglas offers a beautiful meditation at the end of this episode – which you can also access here (*the link will be up in 48 hours*).
