In this podcast episode, I explore a subject very dear to my heart: meditation.

Meditation and money intersect in a lot of different ways. Repetitive thoughts about money and stressing over finances are just some of the things meditation can help with.

To go deeper into the benefits of having a meditative or consciousness practice, I reached out to Coral Short.

Coral is a non-binary Somatic Experience Practitioner and Community Dharma Teacher at True North Insight in Montréal. Coral also co-facilitates the Queer Sangha in both Montréal and sometimes in Berlin. Just recently, Coral became the meditation teacher of our Raymond James cross-Canada sangha, which I set up with the help of our “Life Well Lived programme” in early 2024.

We discuss:

• Coral's background and what originally drew her towards meditation. [01:27]
• Benefits of having a regular meditation practice. [03:28]
• Misconceptions about meditation. [05:28]
• Some of the different ways people can practice meditation. [10:48]
• Suggestions on the structure of practicing, such as for scheduling and frequency. [12:16]
• What is somatic awareness? [13:49]
• The benefits of doing meditation in a group setting. [16:40]
• What Coral would suggest to someone who has never meditated before and would like to begin. [19:01]
