In this episode, we delve into the practice of mindfulness meditation to help alleviate suffering. We begin by discussing the Two Darts meditation, a powerful mindfulness technique that can help us handle painful emotions and thoughts more effectively. The concept of Two Darts comes from a Buddhist teaching that explains how our reactions to the initial painful experience create suffering.

Whether you're new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools for alleviating suffering and cultivating a more mindful way of life. Join us for a mindful moment and discover how you can start living with greater awareness and compassion today.

Jeanne has struggled with the concept of meditation for 14 years. She explains how her idea of meditation and what meditation was, held her back from enjoying the full benefits of mindfulness and quiet space. Through the years she had to adapt her meditation practice to something that worked for her and fit into her lifestyle. She explores the top 3 things that helped her achieve better results with meditation and how these affected her anxiety levels.

She first looks at guided meditations and explains how these have helped her to relax more easily, and to meditate more successfully. Check out the channels she recommends: Great Meditation, Declutter the Mind and Mini Meds.

Secondly, she looks at the power of noise canceling headphones and how these help her to get to a calmer space while meditating, but also while doing other daily chores. Check out the Sony headphones Jeanne uses  here.

Lastly, she looks at what meditation means to her and that this does not necessarily have to ten minutes of zen pose and deep breathing.

In this episode, Lianne shares the unique lens that her policing career gave her. She describes how investigating fatal car accidents frequently reminded her how life can truly change in an instant, which led her to be more present and intentional in her day to day life. Lianne talks about how she was so busy doing all the things that she never slowed down, until one day, she sat down for only15 minutes and it felt so good! The next day, she did the same, and then again the next. She talks about how she ended up coming back to a meditation practice that she once had many years ago. She also shares the benefits that have come from this practice and some tips about how to ease into meditation if you have never tried it before or if you want to get back into it. 

Lianne is a Productivity and Meditation Coach for Moms and Female Entrepreneurs.  For the last 20 years, Lianne has served her community as a Police Officer in the city of Ottawa and in the province of Ontario. She has recently become a certified meditation teacher. Lianne's mission is to encourage people to stop living on autopilot and to be intentional with the time that they have as she knows that life can change in an instant. Through meditation, Lianne helps her clients release overwhelm and return to live in the present moment so that they can create more time to be who they are meant to be. Lianne serves her clients through her “Intentionally Aligned" coaching program where she leads her clients through 6 weeks of time management, stress reduction and mindfulness.

As we are approaching the end of 2021, I wanted to record this episode saying something important to you, something wise, something that will change your life… I reflected on what to say, I meditated on it, I journaled… and then I realized that so many beautiful, powerful, wise, lifechanging things have already been said before me, have been already written… and all what I have to do is to find them and to read them to you. So, I did some research and selected this poem by Sanne Burger that resonates greatly with my heart. Today I will read it to you. All what you have to do is relax, close your eyes and simply allow your soul to speak to you through these words… 

I can’t stay, mother
I love you, but I wasn’t born to please you
I wasn’t born to make you happy
or give your life meaning
I wasn’t born to rot under your wings
like an unhatched egg

I can’t stay, teacher
I wasn’t born to be put into your boxes
to think along your lines
or to memorize your facts
I was born to think independently

I can’t stay, my love
I wasn’t born to satisfy your needs
to take care of you
or to hide in your arms
I wasn’t born to make myself smaller
or to be taken for granted

I can’t stay, boss
I wasn’t born to make money for others
I wasn’t born to follow orders
or to repeat the same day over and over again
I wasn’t born for boredom

I can’t stay, master
I wasn’t born to follow your ideas of what truth is
or to live according to your dogmas
I was born to find my own truth
and make my own rules

I was born to meet life full on
To get lost on Andean trails
To be seduced by mysterious men
To meet different faces, places and cultures
to be out in the jungle all night
To run with wolves
To be swept off my feet
To be taken by storm
To be heartbroken
Devastated
Stunned
Shocked
Lost
Thrown into the deep

I was born to get my hands dirty
To get sand in my mouth
Mud on my clothes
Thorns under my feet
I was born to jump into the abyss

I was born to meet aliens
To do rituals
To be cracked open in ceremony
To go beyond time and space
To welcome magic
To totally lose myself

I was born to feel everything
To taste everything
The bitter taste of sorrow
The foul taste of deceit
The sweet taste of love

I was born to learn how to handle change gracefully
I was born to know the truth
to learn how to fly

I was born to learn how to speak the language of love
How to unchain my heart
How to shed everything
How to let go of all expectations
I was born to learn how it feels to lose everything
except what really matters
I was born to live a life that would strip away everything that wasn’t real
that wasn’t true
that wasn’t me

I am a phoenix
I am born to spread my wings and fly towards the sun
To burn up and turn to ashes
To fall down to earth and rise up again

When I am old
I will be proud of my scars
My wrinkles
My memories
My stories
My wisdom
My freedom

I was born to be free
And therefore, I can’t stay

Currently I am on a journey that I call #yanayear or in other words “a sabbatical”. Basically, I gave most of my belongs and money away to people who needed it, had an honest conversation with my husband and leaped into the unknown with no plans, no structure and no expectations in the midst of the pandemic… If you want to learn more about my journey (and why I did it) and follow my adventures, let’s connect on 

Instagram or Facebook

 I share there openly all the craziest, inspirational and beautiful moments!

What is mindfulness? It is something to be experienced, not really to talk about. My name is Yana and you are listening to the Timeless Teachings podcast. Today I invited Dr Shailendra Bajpai to lead us through a simple mindfulness practice that anyone can do. No previous experience is necessary. Make yourself comfortable and let’s begin… 

Get yourself a cup of tea, keep your mind open and get ready for a deep dive into the Truth.

Sometimes there are days when everything goes NOT the way you have planned - people don’t do what you want them to do, things don’t come together the way you expect them to come together, and you yourself are not at your best on such day… Especially during these kinds of days it is very important to come back home to yourself and restore your equilibrium. Regardless of what is happening around you, you can always tap into your Inner Peace. This is exactly what we are doing with this meditation. 

Get yourself a cup of tea, keep your mind open and get ready for a deep dive into the Truth.
