The Transformative Power of Meditation: A Personal Journey
09/18/23 • 28 min
If you have ever been curious about meditation and wanted to try it yourself, are interested in learning about different types of meditations, or are a seasoned meditator and want to hear about a fellow meditator's journey - this episode is for you!
There is incredible power that lies in silence and stillness, and I embarked on a transformative journey for the last 10+ years that led to self-discovery and helped navigate big life changes. As your host, Nina Elise, I invite you to join me as I share personal experiences about my meditation journey, marked with challenges, breakthroughs, and profound transformations.
Remember how daunting the thought of sitting still and quiet for a couple of minutes, let alone hours, seemed? Well, I do. I threw myself into a journey of meditating every day for two hours, navigated the rough terrains and high tides, and came out on the other side with wisdom and revelations about myself. We will explore various meditation forms, my experiments with the Triple Flame app, and a riveting 3-day silent meditation experiment. These practices, all unique in their ways, have helped maintain a steady meditation journey.
Finally, let's explore the subtle shifts meditation can bring into your life. Like the butterfly effect, these small shifts can create significant changes. Drawing from my experience with multiple forms of meditations, I share how meditating one to two hours daily has led to transformative periods in my life. What started as a challenge ended up molding my personal and professional life, proving that the time you invest in meditation isn't as important as the quality and intentions set forth in your practice. Join me on this enlightening journey, and let's explore how meditation can transform your reality.

Ever felt like you don't trust yourself? Wondered why you feel nervous or scared when talking in front of others? In this episode, I share the tools that helped me learn deeper-self-trust - and they aren't what you might think! Join in the journey as I lead you through my personal encounters and the innovative methods I used to rebuild self-trust. From Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and somatic therapy to journaling and skateboarding, the avenues to self-discovery are as diverse as they are enlightening.
Imagine standing onstage, guitar in hand, ready to strum out your soul. Picture the thrill of going off-script in an impromptu performance, each word a testament to your growing self-trust. My experiences with improv classes, learning to play the guitar, and attending soul-stirring Kirtan events have bolstered my confidence and faith in my voice. It's an exhilarating, transformative journey, and I can't wait to share with you the wisdom gleaned and insights gained.
But the story doesn't end there. Let's delve into the fascinating world of interconnectedness, a realm where our voice frequency can reverberate and impact our surroundings. We'll unravel the hidden significance of impatience, a tell-tale sign of self-distrust lurking beneath the surface. Learn how to cultivate patience and use tools like the Triple Flame App to practice mindfulness and reset your focus. Let's embark on this journey together and amplify our self-trust. Life is more enjoyable when we're patient, present, and fully trusting in our own capabilities.
