About
Adele Bearden
I first learned meditation on my own, the hard way! Over the years I have accepted help from multiple teachers and grew a passion to also give the gift of meditation to others. I have over 15 years of mindfulness and compassion meditation experience. I received certification from The Path in 2021 after completing the Meditation Teacher Training, a world-renowned certificate program, and have been teaching ever since. I continue to deepen my meditation practice by attending workshops and retreats every year.
As a woman who has experienced the gifts of major life realignments, I credit a daily meditation practice with my continuous growth. I believe in being kind to ourselves and cultivating self-acceptance, and eventually self-love. My teachings offer the following:
- Mindfulness foundations, including posture options and various techniques
- Loving Kindness Meditation
- Emphasis on heart-centered practice infused in ALL techniques
- Strategies to build a daily practice
- Tools to tackle obstacles as they arise
- Tips on how to apply meditation skills in everyday life

Belief that the mind must be free of thoughts is not true. Meditation teaches us to be aware of our thoughts so that we really get to know ourselves. The intention is not to shut down or clear the mind. Every meditator has thoughts!

Most people cannot commit to long meditation session. And that is ok! The mind (and body) can have a noticeable shift with only an average of 10 minutes a day. But do not be surprised if you find yourself WANTING to meditate longer because you enjoy it.

It is common to try one type of meditation and give up. But there are different techniques. And you can choose how you want to meditate each day. This keeps the experience fun!
