Meditation: Interview with Lynne Goldberg
Meditation has become more popular this year. People are reaching out to this ancient practice as a form of relaxation and mindfulness. Meditating helps the mind, the body and the soul by relaxing your entire self in a precise moment in existence. The benefits of such practice are countless. Our mind has a great influence over our body, even so that it may help us heal and recover from physical injury. I’ve been a meditation enthusiast for over five years now, and it has helped me see and cope with life in a very positive light.
I had the privilege to contact Lynne Goldberg, creator of one of the most successful meditating and mindfulness apps, through her amazing Public Relations Team. Her app, Breethe, has been featured in Times, Forbes, People, Fox News, Forbes and Cosmopolitan. It has 4.9 star rating on Facebook and 4.6 stars on Apple’s App Store.
I was very intrigued as to how she became part of the meditating world and asked her the following questions:
I started meditating when my life fell apart. My mom had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I had lost twin girls, my job and my marriage. Meditation was the tool that helped me to put it back again.
I had been teaching at schools and the teachers asked me if I could give them some tools for the classroom. My husband was in the technology business and so we created the app!
Set aside some quiet time and commit to 10 minutes. When ever you notice your mind drifting off into thoughts come back to the breath. For some guidance you can try our 7 day challenge on Breethe, available in the app store.
Meditation is wonderful to practice alone however, you can also get great group energy.
We say “rise pee meditate” and advise you do it first thing in the morning before your day gets away from you.
Meditation helps you sleep better, relieves stress, gives you more calm and clarity, and relationship harmony.
This practice has helped me put things into perspective and see the big picture. Rather than focus on the stuff that isn’t going well, I developed an attitude of gratitude.
