Mindfulness, meditation, living in the present... these are all buzz terms you’ve probably heard. Maybe even tried. But what actually is meditation? And 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 Great Minds, a new podcast from SBS.
You'll be learning about, and trying, various meditation styles from across the world. Whether you’ve been meditating for years, or this is your first time, these short meditations will fit neatly 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. And closer to home, we’ll delve into Wayapa Wuurrk, a meditation practice based on knowledge from the First Nations peoples of Australia. Plus we’ll dive deeper into popular practices like qigong from China, and yoga nidra from India.
Follow Great Minds in Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or the SBS Radio app to listen to these guided meditations.
