  • Bonus Ep. How to Meditate and Unplug with Suze Yalof Schwartz

    25 SEP 2023 · We are sure you’ve heard that meditation and other mindfulness activities are good for you. However, it can be difficult to know how to meditate or find the time to add this ritual into your daily routine. Because of the many misconceptions around mindfulness, we wanted to talk to an expert in making meditation convenient, accessible, and effective. In this episode, we chat with Suze Yalof Schwartz, the Founder and CEO of the Unplug Meditation App and the world's first drop-in secular meditation studio. She is also the author of Unplug: A Simple Guide To Meditation for Busy Skeptics and Modern Soul Seekers. In 2012, Suze learned a three-minute meditation that changed her life forever. Prior to this, she was a fashion editor and "makeover guru" working at Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Glamour Magazine with regular appearances on GMA, The Today Show, CBS Early Show, and more. Once she discovered meditation, she was determined to keep doing it but could not find a place to easily learn and practice. After taking hundreds of hours of classes, reading every book possible, and listening to podcasts and lectures from the world's most famous meditation teachers, Suze realized that meditation needed a makeover and she was the one to do it. Suze's mission is to make meditation simple, accessible, powerful and interesting enough so that everyone will want to practice it and experience the benefits for themselves. What’s discussed in this episode: - Suze’s career before starting Unplug - What inspired Suze to start Unplug - Myths about meditation - The steps that Suze took to create the world’s first drop-in meditation studio - The different classes that Suze has at the studio and on the app - Information about Unplug’s Meditation Teacher Training - The positive impact that meditation has had on Suze - A demonstration of how you can use the Unplug App (check out our YouTube) - Special features on the Uplug app - Why meditation should be a part of everyone’s daily routine - Research based benefits of meditation - Advice for meditation newbies Social Media Links: - http://www.unplug.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/unplugmeditation/ - https://www.facebook.com/unplugmeditation - https://www.linkedin.com/company/unplug-meditation/mycompany/?viewAsMember=true - https://twitter.com/unplugmeditati - https://www.youtube.com/c/UnplugMeditation?app=desktop Our Social Media Links: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connectingthedots.podcast/, https://www.instagram.com/kathlyncarneywellness/, https://www.instagram.com/melissachammas/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@connectingthedotspodcast, https://www.tiktok.com/@kathlyncarneywellness, https://www.tiktok.com/@the_lazy_yogi - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@connectingthedots.podcast Our Partners: - https://kathlyncarney.com/services/ - https://whynotnatural.com?bg_ref=7fm6rVHQZw - https://www.organicolivia.com/collections/best-sellers?utm_source=pepperjam&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=269994&clickId=4207982945 - https://addjoi.com/?rfsn=6784930.19a405&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6784930.19a405 use code KATHLYNCARNEYWELLNESS at checkout for 10% off - https://www.energybits.com/ use code CTD at checkout for 20% off - https://livepacha.com/discount/KATHLYNCARNEY?ref=qSR8fRx6ckZiRW *Before purchasing any supplements from our partners, please consult with your physician or nutritionist Click here to learn more - https://kathlyncarney.com/audio-show/
