My guest today has made a very big impact in my life and gifted me the a meditation practice that finally STUCK. Laura Poole is a Vedic meditation teacher for the past 15 years and founder of Mahasoma – supporting Vedic meditators and teachers with feminine-led Vedic wisdom, embodiment practices, and community. I came to learn Vedic meditation through Laura earlier this year and I got so so much more. I thought I would just be calming my often scattered mind, but I opened a portal of creativity, connection to source and love within me. My overwhelm, stress, silly insecurities and the fears that were once stopping me, have all melted away. I am more connected to my intuition, my body and in my relationships - decision making is simplified and life is more fulfilling. I’m no longer chasing so much, because everything I was chasing for, I now realise it’s all within me. And that doesn’t mean my work has slowed down, if anything it’s sped up, because I can hold more. I can hold more clients. As someone who prided myself on always doing all the heavy lifting but I was making it SO much harder than it needed to be. When you meditate you access that divinity point within you so effortlessly, that the rest melts away. I am so grateful for Laura and how generously shares her knowledge, experience and practice.
