From Skeptic to Believer: How Meditation Transformed My Approach to Conflict Resolution

Conflict Skills

In this episode of the Conflict Skills Podcast, I discuss meditation. Now, when you try to google search for 'mediation' (as in conflict resolution type of mediation). it always autocorrects to 'meditation' (as in sitting crosslegged chanting etc.). So even though I always described myself as a mediator, I suspect the universe misinterpreted and I've become a mediator! In this episode of the podcast, I take a slightly different approach to usual. I wanted to share my experience mediating as I wish I knew what to expect or the different techniques that worked when I started. Meditating regularly has been really helpful for me and I hope that this podcast gives you anther option to consider trying it yourself - and get all of the benefits and challenges that come with it. In the podcast I discuss the progress of development so far, including additional self-awareness, self-regulation, and taking control of one's thoughts and emotions in managing conflicts and improving relationships.
