Demystifying Meditation with Sandra Sammartino

Meditation may seem like something best left to the mystics, but recent research shows it may be the answer we're used to looking for in a pill bottle. Unfortunately, you can't walk into a pharmacy and pick up a packet of zen, so how do we get our daily dose of meditation?

In this episode of the tuja wellness podcast, host Tim Wohlberg aims to demystify meditation with help from his guest Sandra Sammartino. She's a 73 year-young yogi who credits meditation with keeping her off Valium for 40 years. She's got the answers you're looking for.

Download and prepare for everything you ever wanted to know about meditation but were afraid to ask - What if I fall asleep? How do I slow down my racing mind? How can I release emotions? How is meditation just like cleaning my kitchen?

Even our host gets some personal advice about his habit of leaving his body - is he astral projecting? Sandra brings him right back down to earth and she'll do the same for you.

If you want to get to know meditation, pop this podcast in your ears and feel the ground beneath your feet. Heck, if you want to clean the kitchen at the same time, it will all seem rather apropos.
