Discover the Power of Meditation w/Jeff Patterson

Key Takeaways:

On this episode, I chat with Jeff Patterson, a meditation and martial arts expert with 30 years of experience, about how meditation can transform your life. Jeff shares the profound impact of the five regulations on mental health and overall well-being, offering practical advice for solo moms to reduce stress and find balance.

00:45 Meditation offers immense benefits for everyone, and Jeff quotes the Dalai Lama: “Everyone should meditate for 20 minutes a day, unless you’re too busy; then you should meditate for an hour.”

02:00 Jeff introduces the concept of the "five regulations" in meditation—body, breath, mind, energy, and spirit—which serve as the fundamental tools for any meditation practice.

03:00 Regulating the body and breath is essential for managing stress and anxiety and can enhance physical and mental performance.

45:00 Jeff emphasizes the importance of a consistent meditation practice and having a clear "why," as well as finding a good guide or teacher to help you benefit from meditation practice.

About the Podcast

SoloMoms! Talk
Connecting the stories of solo moms globally
Welcome to SoloMoms! Talk podcast where solo (divorced, single, married, widowed) moms share their stories and gain a whole new perspective on their own lives.

Host, J. Rosemarie welcomes dynamic guests who share their personal stories as well as offer helpful tips and strategies to solo moms globally, so they can live more joy-filled lives.

This show brings awareness to the unique experiences of moms raising their kids alone.  Because a solo mom is not always "single". She may be widowed like Shaniqua Garvin: https://bit.ly/3tJ5KSv; or divorced like Nicole Lonzano: https://bit.ly/3HVMzdg: or still married like Allison Banfield: https://bit.ly/3Co9InM.

Solo moms make up a whole spectrum of families headed by a woman bearing sole responsibility for raising her children.
___________________________________________________________
The podcast is designed to curate not only the struggles but also the triumphs of solo moms around the world.  Expert interviews help to equip solo moms to become a better version of themselves, better parent/co-parent, and partner.
_________________________________________________________
I want solo moms to know that they are not alone and they don't have to parent in silence.
Mission of SoloMoms! Talk Podcast is to: 
1) bring awareness to the struggles of solo moms; 
2) shine a light on the positive impact they make on their families and communities; 
3) reduce the number of solo moms globally, through education, connection, and self-education; and 
4) to help them see themselves as God sees them.

J. Rosemarie Francis

As the solo mom of 3 adult sons, I've experienced life raising children solo. My goal is to connect moms around the world who are raising children alone. I'm not only a podcast host but I also mentor solo moms to Shift, Heal, and Empower themselves to live a transformed life -- to see themselves as God sees them.

My mission is to reduce the number of solo moms worldwide through mentoring, education, and encouraging spiritual growth through my S.H.E. framework.
