Over the past couple of years, Take Back Your Mind has received several questions about meditation including, what is it? Why do it? Who is it for? Am I doing it right? How do I reach deeper levels of awareness? Today, Michael talks about the art, science, and practice of meditation where he addresses these questions—and so much more—followed by an extended guided meditation session.
Highlights include:
-A clear definition of meditation: paying undistracted attention to Reality and being present with our thoughts, sensations, and emotions without resisting or enhancing them
-The benefits of meditation: less anxiety and reactivity; more clarity, creativity, resilience, and Source-led decision making; better sleep, balanced blood pressure, immune support, and neuro-regeneration through consistent practice
-Breaking myths like "my mind's too busy" to meditate—why busyness is exactly why we meditate and observing "thinking-ness" instead of fighting it
-Why meditation is a universal human practice for everyone—parents, athletes, teachers, leaders—not just monks or yogis
-From starting your practice to the mature practice that recognizes meditation is portable and can be done any time and anywhere
-Various meditation tools: guided, breath, mantra, observation and frequency music options that make practice accessible and flexible
-Spotting classic blockers at the edge of insight and stabilizing the insight so revelation becomes a living state, not a memory
-Bringing the vibe with you—before meetings, generate the quality (peace, love, support) and walk in carrying it
-Michael's extended guided meditation on intention, attention, and breath

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
