Grounded Radio Eleanor Bartram

Hey hey people of the world!

Thanks for tuning in to Episode 3 of Grounded Radio all about meditation with me, your host, Eleanor.

I've been meditating since I was 10. It's something I'm really into! And you can be too... 

I recommend some different ways you can introduce yourself to meditation. Even if you're not a beginner, this episode will benefit you because I discuss different meditation apps, free and paid, that you can try out to spice up your practice! 

I later discuss two of my favourite breathing techniques as well as my own experience with meditation recently (visualisation has REALLY been working for me).

Lastly I mention Dr Joe Dispenza's book called Becoming Supernatural. It's errrrr... LIFE CHANGING! 

Sending you lots of love and many peaceful meditation practices!

See you next week for Episode 4.

Please leave me a review. If you're feeling extra super-duper kind, a 5-star rating would be wonderful too. 



**DISCLAIMER**

1. I am not a medical professional, psychologist or psychiatrist - therefore anything I say in this episode is from my own research. Imagine we're two friends talking about neuroplasticity. 

2. I will touch on mental health, depression, anxiety and trauma. If this is triggering for you, please do not listen to this episode and instead join me for Episode 3 next week. Protect your mindset first. 3
