My Six Degrees of Meditation

With Hailey Pinksen

There are many benefits to meditation for example: enhanced present moment awareness, less reactive, and possibly a sense of calmness. Throughout the course, notice some of the benefits you encounter. Your awareness links to meditation, your whispers of insight, may be different from mine. That is the beauty in the practice - it is unique and individual for everyone. My petals of awareness are what I am calling my Six Degrees of Meditation. My meditation practice has heightened my awareness and connections to everything. Being present and engaged in the moment increases my awareness to the things around me. They are my anchors and my support structure.


Meet your Teacher

Hailey is a certified meditation teacher through the McLean Meditation Institute. She started learning about meditation in 2015 when she was struggling with balance in her life. Her mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing was neglected and something needed to change. That began her practice towards peace and stillness through meditation. She spent most of her life in what she describes as "negative mental chatter brain." It was only with meditation and mindfulness that this chatter began to settle.
