Introducing Great Minds: a guided meditations podcast

Mindfulness, meditation, living in the present... these are all buzz terms you’ve probably heard. Maybe even tried. But what actually is meditation? Does it always have to be done in skintight yoga clothes, next to the water, and posted on social media? Join host Leah Vandenberg to try various meditation styles from across the world in this podcast from SBS.

Try meditation and mindfulness exercises that introduce you to practices from across the world

In Great Minds you'll discover and experience various meditation styles from across the world.

Whether you’ve been meditating for years or this is your first time, these short guided meditations and mindfulness exercises will fit easily into your day.

Hear about Hilot, an ancient practice from the Philippines, and Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing, from Japan. You'll also learn about the rich Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono, which is passed through generations.

Closer to home, delve into Wayapa Wuurrk, a meditation practice based on knowledge from the First Nations peoples of Australia. Plus we’ll try deeper into popular practices like Qigong from China, and Yoga Nidra from India.

There are three episodes introducing you to different aspects of each of these practices.
