The man who single handedly got Joy hooked on meditation, Jeff Warren, joins her for a very special episode today. Jeff is a meditation instructor, journalist, and author with a dynamic and accessible teaching style whose mission in life is to empower people to take responsibility for their own mental health. He is honest, funny, and, above all, passionate about destigmatizing meditation with his much more relaxed approach, and his mediation instruction continues to be a blessing to Joy while journeying through the current pandemic. In this episode, Jeff shares his background, how his interest in meditation began, and how he uses it to support his own mental health. He then presents the four medicines to be found within meditation, what helps him get into his flow, meditation’s role in creating space in your head and dealing with grief, and explores the neuroscience behind it. Jeff also reviews the changes that parenthood has made in his meditation, the shift that mediation has made with his bipolar disorder, and his unique collaboration with Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. He and Joy also discuss some of the initiatives he offers, the best way to start meditating, and their favorite meditation guides. Fittingly, Jeff finishes the episode with a mini-meditation in which all are invited to participate. Jeff Warren is a remarkable man whom Joy credits with making a profoundly positive difference in her life – listen in today to find out how he can do the same for you.   Episode Highlights:   Jeff’s background and how his interest in meditation began How he uses meditation for his own mental health The four medicines in meditation What helps Jeff get into his flow Meditation’s role in creating more space in your head and dealing with grief The neuroscience of meditation How parenthood has changed Jeff’s meditation The shift that meditation has made to Jeff’s bipolar disorder Jeff’s meditation with Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello The Consciousness Explorers Club and its free Community Practice Activation Kit The best way for someone to start meditating Jeff and Joy’s favorite meditation guides A mini meditation with Jeff   Resources:    Jeff’s homepage:   https://jeffwarren.org/   Jeff’s Projects and Collaborators:   https://jeffwarren.org/about/collaborators/   Jeff’s YouTube Channel:   https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffWarrenMeditation/featured   Jeff’s meditation with Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzjzejl_Ndk   The Community Practice Activation Kit:  http://cecmeditate.com/community-practice-activation-kit/   The Consciousness Explorers Club homepage:   http://cecmeditate.com/about/   Jeff’s books:   https://jeffwarren.org/books/     More about Joyous Health  Check out our award-winning blog Joyous Health  Check out Joy’s bestselling cookbooks Follow Joyous Health on Instagram Find Joyous Health on Facebook Learn more about The Joyous Health Business Program  Check out our full line of Natural & Organic Haircare and Body Care.
