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:
- I could no longer continue to work with students with ASD and behavioural issues like I was
- that I had a LOT of anxiety and depression
- 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.
