Lisa Van ZuylenGuestEllieHostmeditation something was in your life like did your mother and your father meditate like that was just they're not them kind of people

no like they're very like you know um my dad like no he's like you know if i was crying he'd be like stop crying you know yeah yeah you know and if i was emotional and be like yeah whatever get over it like yeah i was in the push through mentality which and just they didn't have the tools or resources either so what are you gonna do you know it's kind of like that's how it is so I didn't learn meditation until I was in my like late 20s I want to say yeah and so that's kind of or mid mid to late 20s is when I started learning meditation and then that changed everything and I feel like even just five minutes even in the morning can just change everything relax your nervous system and
yeah I think if people would have said to me years, and I didn't grow up in a family with meditation, and if my life was a mess 10 years ago, and if someone came to me and said, meditation, I would have been like, that's not going to work for me.
Like I need something drastic.
But I feel like as soon as I started to work through my issues, meditation was somewhere that I could really go.
And it's such a powerful tool.
And I think so many people that aren't used to it, they discredit it and they say, oh, you know, that I think it's a shock to the system.
They're like, how can something so small help me in such a massive way? But I think once you're on the healing journey, it's a really powerful tool.

It's definitely, it's changed my life in so many ways and it just relaxes my nervous system, resets it.

And just, I noticed I've meditated almost every day for the past what 17 years since I learned meditation and I feel like there'll be bouts where I'm like oh I'm doing okay I don't need meditation and then like all of a sudden my life starts not flowing as much I'm like all right we're going back to meditation
it's
something that helps it flow

And I feel like even just like five minutes in the morning can change your life.
