• How to Let Go of Negative Feelings After a Bad Day
    Nov 11 2024

    Life moves in cycles. It is the nature of all things. We live in cycles with the sun, the moon, and the seasons. Our life moves in phases from infancy through old age. We have times of high energy, low energy, emotional highs and emotional lows. This is the nature of being human.

    When we spend our whole life engaged in doing things, we fail to understand how these bodies of ours operate. It's like we're strapped into a rollercoaster and we have no choice but to go along for the ride without any control or influence on the journey. When we start to pay attention and notice the patterns and cycles, we can prepare for those twists and turns, and even begin to know how to effect them.

    In today's podcast, I talk about what to do when we have a low day, why we have low days, and what we can do to prevent them from happening in the first place.

    I discuss ways to understand our natural cycles and rhythms. I share how we can deal with the lows, reduce the number of lows, and lift the base of our rollercoaster's platform so that the lows aren't so low and the highs are even higher.

  • 3 Powerful Tips for Deep Meditation
    Sep 29 2024

    Why is doing nothing the hardest thing in the world? It's not a mystery. It's because we are so used to doing, achieving, consuming, creating, analyzing and judging. But when we can break through that compulsion to mindlessly fill up the peaceful silence with needless noise, the world becomes ours.

    There is perhaps no greater ability than the ability to find peace and joy within ourselves. In this podcast, I share the three most important steps for breaking through that barrier to peace. After 12 years and 10,000 hours meditating, this is what helped me go from a fidgety person with ADHD, to someone who loves meditation and can't live without it.
