Exploring the Sweetness of Life and Finding Joy in Meditation Practice

How does the mind shape our reality? What happens when the conceptual mind turns off?

The answers might be found in the depths of meditation.

Doug Kraft has delved into the complexities of the mind from various perspectives: as a psychotherapist, writer, minister, meditation teacher, and through the lenses of bio-energetics and neuroscience.

In this episode, we discuss consciousness and the mind's role in constructing our reality. We explore how to train our brains to achieve lasting contentment.
