Elizabeth Cush on Listening Meditation
Looking for some grounding or a moment of peace? In this episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush guides you through a listening meditation.
“Take some time to notice the sounds around you, in your environment, in your space, wherever you are in the moment. ”
Show Notes:
Whether you’re trying to manage your anxiety and stress or lower your blood pressure, meditation can offer many benefits. Yet some people who could benefit most—especially those who have experienced trauma—may have difficulty with body- or breath-based meditation techniques. In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., offers an alternative that you might find easier—one that keeps you in the moment by focusing on a single sense. She will guide you through a brief listening meditation practice that you can do anywhere, indoors or out, sitting or standing, with eyes open or closed, any time you need to feel grounded or just need to take a break.
