Introduction to Meditation

People who start their journey a little more deeply into meditation will discover that different terms are used for different kinds of meditation. In this episode, we introduce Shamatha and Vipassana meditations. Listen as Jyothi V. Robertson shares what are these meditations and what is the difference between them.

The Journey You Own Online Meditation Gathering is a free sitting meditation session to create a shared, supportive space that brings people from animal welfare together to explore grounding practices.

Jyothi Robertson

Dr. Jyothi V. Robertson is a student of meditation practice for 40+ years and trauma-sensitive grounding practices formally for the past three years. She was raised by parents who practice meditation and lead spiritual teachings for members of their Indian community. She began pursuing her own formal exploration of spirituality as an anthropology major at Princeton University and conducted fieldwork for her thesis while living at an ashram (spiritual center) in India in 1996. As a veterinarian, she is interested in highlighting the spiritual connection between all living beings.

Jyothi has completed certifications in trauma-sensitive mindfulness, advanced trauma-sensitive meditation, deep listening, DEI, and since 2019, has been receiving training in Buddhist meditation practices and philosophy. As a student learning meditation, she is interested in exploring these practices with others in community.
