The Power of Meditation and Mindfulness with Kelli Meeks

How would you like a direct route to being kinder, calmer, and feeling more connected? A mindfulness practice might be the place to start.

Loving-kindness meditation is one form of mindfulness practice that focuses on the appreciation of ourselves and others. When times get hard, we often feel that our ability to extend kindness to and beyond ourselves is buried. This meditation will show you the pathway back to those reserves of kindness and benevolent energy. And with regular practice, this meditation can help us more easily find silver linings in difficult times and develop a more optimistic mindset that promotes resilience and connectedness.

In this month's PurposeCast, Dr. Vic Strecher and Kelli Meeks will guide you through a live loving-kindness meditation for increased empathy, compassion, and connectedness. Kelli has been practicing mindfulness for over 20 years and her practice has allowed her to transform her life and get in touch with her core values and purpose.

Following the guided mediation, Dr. Strecher and Kelli will answer your questions on mindfulness and how to get started with your own mindfulness practice.

Research shows the benefits of mindfulness and meditation include:

• Enhanced self-transcendence and life purpose
• Stress relief and improved immune function
• Reductions in negative feelings towards self and others
• Increased empathy and connectedness
