Why Meditation Isn’t About Controlling the Mind — It’s About Loving Yourself)

For years, we’ve been told that meditation is about emptying the mind — becoming thoughtless, still, and perfectly calm.

But what if that idea is what’s been keeping us from truly experiencing the benefits of meditation?

As a Holistic Herbalist, Reiki Master, and Meditation Guide, I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping people reclaim their peace — and I can confidently say this:

Meditation is not about control. It’s about connection.

It’s about softening into yourself.
It’s about making space to feel your breath, your body, your heart.
It’s about learning to meet your thoughts with compassion — not resistance.

Why Most People Think They Can’t Meditate

You’re busy.
Your mind races.

You fall asleep or get distracted.

That doesn’t mean you’re bad at meditating.
It means you’re human.

And in fact, the moment you notice your mind has wandered and you come back, that’s meditation.

Meditation as Self-Love

What if you saw meditation as a gift to your nervous system?
A time to let go of doing and just be.

🌿 A place to release stress
🌿 To feel supported and held
🌿 To tune back into your higher self

This is the approach I take in my 1:1 sessions and group healing meditation circles.

It’s created for real people with real lives and real minds.
No pressure. No perfect postures. Just loving presence.
