How Meditation Can Help Reduce Anxiety

Welcome to The Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy and Meditation Podcast.

For this episode, our Meditation Community Coordinator, Sara Bowman, sat down with our founder and lead meditation teacher, Brandt Passalacqua, to talk about meditation, anxiety, and more. 

Practicing meditation regularly can lead to an expanded state of consciousness because it retrains the mind. This allows us to perceive reality differently through a wider lens, which inherently changes the way we react to experiences that happen to us.

In this discussion, Brandt shares why meditation is a helpful tool for reducing stress and anxiety in our everyday lives.

Brandt also covers how much we should meditate and how long it typically takes people to see the benefits of their meditation practice.

We’d love to know how you found this episode! Please share your experiences as a teacher with us in the comments or over on our Instagram or Facebook page (linked below)!
