COACHING WITH ERIN: The Mental Rehearsal Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

In my work as a health and meditation coach, I often reach for my favorite meditation when working with clients: the mental rehearsal. This powerful practice will help you step past your insecurities, anxieties and blocks in order to envision and prepare for the changes you are seeking in your life.

When I led past client Jenna Kutcher through a mental rehearsal, she experienced a beautiful and impactful vision that led her to change key aspects of her life in order to bring what she saw to fruition. She writes about the incredible experience in her book, How Are You, Really?

When Jenna released her book I was honored to be invited to share a mental rehearsal with her readers. Today, I’m sharing that mental rehearsal with you!
