105 Life as Meditation Practice with Mary Meckley

Today’s show is all about the importance of pausing to access our inner still point.

Our guest today is meditation and yoga teacher, Mary Meckley, who is the creator and host of the Daily Meditation podcast which has over 50 million downloads.  Mary also offers a meditation app called Sip and Om, which includes all aspects of the meditation lifestyle and supports healthy habits, including meditation, journaling, and setting intentions.

Mary lived in Japan for several years and studied ancient Japanese arts, such as flower arrangement and tea ceremony.  She likes to say that her quest for inner stillness was launched by a sipping a cup of green tea.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Making the shift from corporate life to wellness entrepreneur;

  • What meditation is and how to practice in the course of life;

  • The benefits of settling into stillness; and

  • Insight into the Daily Meditation podcast and Sip and Om app.

We end this episode with our Dose of Inspiration segment, where Mary shares some of the things that are lighting her up these days.
