As a wellbeing writer of over 20 years, it is glaringly obvious to me that we are no longer living in alignment with who we are. Obesity is at an all-time high, as is anxiety, depression and chronic disease. We spend less time in nature; spend all day hunched over laptops; we snack all day and don’t allow the sun to warm our skin. In this podcast, I’ll be speaking to some of the most knowledgeable and inspiring thought leaders, along with creatives and wellness experts to help us rethink the way we currently live. WAYS TO FEEL MORE HUMAN is about coming home to the wonder of ourselves.

Jillian Lavender - Why meditation is more relevant now than ever

Why Vedic meditation can boost your mood, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and help you live longer Did you know the average person spends 82 hours per week consuming information?

Or that we take in almost 90 times more information today than we did in 1940?

We are currently living through a mental health crisis and it is vital we find a way to switch off from all the noise, and release stress. In this first episode of Ways to Feel More Human, I speak to Jillian Lavender who runs the London Meditation Centre and the New York Meditation Centre with her husband, Michael.

Jillian has been teaching meditation for 21 years and in this conversation I speak to her about her own journey into Vedic meditation and how it changed her life when she was working in a very stressful publishing job. Jillian speaks about what Vedic meditation is, how it differentiates from other types of meditation, why and how it works, the effects it has not just on the mind but the body too, and how it can help increase longevity. Jillian also talks about why meditation is not mindfulness.
