Mr. Divabetic talks with international Yoga Teacher and Author Rachel Zinman, living with LADA diabetes, who shares a guided meditation, “The Mountain Meditation.”

The Mountain Meditation by Jon Kabat-Zinn, encourages us to seek inner stability and peace, even amid unpredictable change and chaos.

See if you can sit like the mountain, still and grounded through the changes of weather, time, and seasons, allowing day and night to come and go, accepting change, not resisting it.

This meditation is usually done in a sitting position, either on the floor or a chair. 

Remember that taking time daily to meditate and connect with your inner self can greatly benefit your overall well-being and diabetes wellness. The Mountain Meditation is a great way to ground yourself and find stability, even amid chaos and uncertainty. Practicing this meditation regularly can help you to better navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease and resilience. So take a deep breath, find a comfortable seat, and allow yourself to be still like a mountain. 

In her book, Yoga for Diabetes, Rachel Zinman shares her journey and the hard-won wisdom gained from her own experience of yoga and diabetes.
