Episode notes
Meditation Began In A Crisis
- RuPaul began formal meditation at 28 during a very dark period while sleeping on his sister's couch.
- He attempted meditation then but got proficient only about 17 years before the interview.
Begin Days With Prayer And Group Practice
- Start your day with a ritual: pray to disengage ego, then meditate to find awareness.
- Join a regular group practice to build consistency; RuPaul attends a 6:30am meditation five days a week.
You Are The Awareness Watching Thoughts
- RuPaul describes meditation as observing thoughts like a river and recognizing awareness as the true self.
- This perspective allowed him to let thoughts pass without judgment and reduce identification with them.
