Meditation - Relax and Float Downstream

It’s not a stretch to say The Beatles were pioneers on many levels, from music to pop culture and their experiences with meditation and eastern wisdom undoubtedly influenced several of their songs. Of all of them, the song that planted a spiritual seed in me was “Tomorrow Never Knows” as the lyrics were inspired by John Lennon’s own fascination with universal consciousness.

Although you may be familiar with what meditation is, without first hand experience, it’s difficult to grasp the profound benefits it provides, because results aren’t exactly obtained overnight and most abandon the practice before realizing its full potential.

What does a consistent meditation practice entail? How does one sit and focus their attention for five minutes, let alone hours at a time? Is it even possible to quiet the mind in a world riddled with random distractions?

There are several types of meditation and the disciplines vary, depending on which sect of buddhism one follows. So, how does someone choose which one is best suited for them? Are some methods more effective than others? Do they all provide the same benefits?

With so many questions, beginning a meditation practice can be overwhelming. However, it’s the discipline of consistently practicing that enables us to recognize and cultivate our inherent Buddha consciousness, which motivates us to continue.

In this episode, I address these questions and explore how meditation can positively impact anyone, even if you’re not a Buddhist. I also share my personal meditation journey spanning nearly three decades, shedding light on its evolution and the profound influence it’s had on my life.

So sit back, relax and float downstream with me, as I unravel the mystery of meditation, offering insights, guidance, and inspiration to both novice and experienced practitioners alike. Discover the transformative power of this timeless practice and embark on a journey towards self-awareness and the truth of human consciousness!
