Meditating can be easy (& fun!) with Jessica Snow

Do you ever think "I should start meditating" but can't find the time? Have you heard all about the benefits of meditating but can't seem to create a practice? Then this episode is for you! I am talking all things meditation with Jessica Snow, a meditative storyteller and energetic alchemist.

Hello friends. I am so excited about today’s episode. I feel like I say that every week but I just always am just really excited about the guest that I have on the topics that were talking about. But this week is a really special one because my guest is Jessica Snow and Jessica is a meditative Storyteller and an energetic.

Oh my gosh, I love that description. It’s so good. Okay, so we are talking about meditation on the show today and I brought on Jessica Snow because she is unlike any other like meditation leader that I’ve ever met. Her energy is so great and she has made me actually feel really good about meditating. I was feeling kind of bad about meditating and the fact that I couldn’t make a practice happen and I knew there were benefits to meditation. I just wasn’t doing it and I felt bad about it. This conversation with Jessica really turned around the way that I look at meditation.

If you struggle with meditating, I really think that you’re going to enjoy this show. Jessica is so phenomenal, so fun. I could talk to her for like hours. And in fact, even after we stopped recording the show, I think we kept talking for like another like 45 minutes. There’s also a little mini guided session with in the episode. So before we get started, I just want to try to give you a little bit of background on Jessica.

Since 2011, her bright imagination, inclusive nature, and magical voice have made her a sought-out and beloved meditation guide in her hometown of Los Angeles. Today, Jessica is a leader in the guided meditation movement and an authentic voice of the new new age. She writes, creates, records and leads inventive mystical experiences that are as profound as they are pleasurable.

Beneficial for both the first timer and experienced meditator, her narratives are powerful original myths and fairy tales filled with symbolism. By placing the participant at the center of each journey, she opens the door to the possibilities of awakening, rejuvenation, and transcendence.

To date, people have pressed play on her meditations over 65,000 times.

Whether working in contemplative or creative modalities Jessica’s main aim is always the same – to reconnect you with your own magic.

Magic is the perfect word for Jessica because I really think that Jessica Snow is magic. Once you hear her meditations and check out her site you are going to fall in love with meditation as well.
