Learning to sit with yourself takes practice. If you experience depression or anxiety, it can feel impossible. Today’s guest, Chrissy MJ Anderson, went from crippling depression to a vibrant beam of light after finding healing through meditation.
Chrissy joins Jessica to talk about her personal struggle with depression and how meditation helped her heal. Not only did her meditation practice help her rewire her brain but she also unexpectedly found a community at the studio that completely transformed her life, leading her to become a meditation teacher herself and also get certified in Yoga-Nidra and Reiki.
In this emotional conversation, Chrissy and Jessica discuss:
- Chrissy’s two-year long battle with depression and how meditation led her to sobriety and dramatically improved mental health
- How her mental health struggles ultimately led her to her purpose
- How to use meditation as a technique to push through anxiety
- How practices like meditation give us the opportunity to hear the messages that are coming from deep within us
- The use of crystals to amplify the effects of meditation
- The importance of community and how connecting with total strangers can save your life
- The power of group healing
Whether you formerly or currently are struggling with mental health or are close to someone who is, you will find this conversation very relatable and inspiring. Chrissy’s vulnerability makes this episode one that serves as a reminder that we all have the power to heal and that we are all healing. It’s a lifelong journey that ebbs and flows, but new opportunities to continue our healing are always available.
