Meditation can be powerful. It can also be frustrating, confusing, and easy to abandon—especially in fast-paced, high-pressure work environments like healthcare.
In this short, compassionate video, Certified Mindfulness Instructor Liz Korabek-Emerson offers three simple ways to meet meditation differently: not as something we succeed at, but something we return to.
If you’re a clinician, educator, or healthcare worker, these practices may offer new ways to reconnect with purpose and presence.
Suppose you’re a patient or someone receiving care. In that case, this video might offer insight into the hidden emotional labor healthcare workers carry—and a gentle glimpse into how healing can go both ways.
This interview was part of a larger conversation and body of work in Medical Improv, 3 Paths into Practice — self-paced train the trainers designed to bring medical improv, relational presence, and mindful awareness into healthcare and education. It invites professionals to stay grounded in their humanity—not just for themselves, but for the people they care for.
Meditation doesn’t have to be another task on your to-do list. It can be a gentle anchor. A pause in the noise. A practice that adapts to you.
“You don’t have to go to the Himalayas to meditate. You just have to be where you are.”—Liz Korabek-Emerson
