Miriam Trahan, Teacher of Meditation, Tells Her Story

Miriam Trahan grew up in Louisiana of Cajun French ancestry. She tells her story in today’s Nobody Knows Your Story episode. She tells of growing up in the primarily Catholic city of Lafayette with eight siblings and how this certainly influenced her in later years. She moved around quite a bit which she talks about, but just how did she end up living on the island of Maui? (You’ll need to listen in to find out.)

 One of the things that intrigued me about Miriam was that she is really into meditation; I mean REALLY INTO MEDITATION. Years ago, I discovered a type of meditation through walking, and I wanted to see how my “mind clearing walks” stacked up against what Miriam teaches.

 Here’s what Miriam says in an excerpt from her Miriam’s Meditations website.

 “When I was a young adult, I realized my path would include explorations into spirituality and consciousness. From 1995-2005 I was fortunate to study pranayama with an advanced breath master, Swami Santiananda, who taught PranaVayu Breath Practice. I attained Levels 1 and 2 with this study. I also earned a 200-hour yoga teaching certification in 2000. My current field of study since 2005 is Light Body, as taught by Duane Packer of Luminessence.”

 Miriam’s Meditations podcast began as a way to share online the breath and meditation classes that I had been teaching here on the island of Maui. Sharing the beauty and blessings of our magical home is an integral part of the meditation journeys.

 So spend an hour and listen to Miriam’s interesting life story and expand your knowledge and understanding related to meditation. I mean, "Who are you when you're not thinking?"
