So who am I? 

I’m Charlene and I first started meditating back in 2014. Before that I was NOT someone who meditated. Up to that point my idea of meditating was basically sitting in the dark with some candles lit, for maybe 5 minutes? I didn’t get much out of the experience. Because “I don’t meditate.” 

Sound familiar? 

I’m sure it does to a few of you. 

So what changed in 2014? 

In a moment it all changed.

Well, the year before I had one of those moments that changed my entire life in seconds. I was crossing the street when I was hit by a bus. Literally. 

I fractured my skull in a few places and had significant brain swelling as a result of the accident. Enough that I ended up having my first (of 4) neurosurgeries in the days after the accident.

The accident, the brain injury, and the resulting surgeries meant that:

  1. I could no longer continue to work with students with ASD and behavioural issues like I was
  2. that I had a LOT of anxiety and depression 
  3. and I had no idea what my future was going to look like and what I was going to do next. 

When my social worker suggested I give mindfulness a try, let me tell you, I was willing to try anything at that point. 

To say that it changed my life would be an understatement. 

Over time I went from being someone who was so shy that they couldn’t talk to anyone to being described as confident (!) by people who just met me. 

I learned how to get out of my head, to move past all the thoughts and noise and to start living my life. 

That’s when I realized that this is what I want to teach other people how to do for themselves. 

So The Mindfulness Journey was created.
