69 | Understanding Meditation and How to Actually Do It with Justin Michael Williams

Feel like you can’t meditate? Perhaps fighting yourself while meditating? Catch yourself spending time worrying? Or even feel like emotions are a waste of time? In a fast-paced, ever-going, and dynamic world, we’re taught to submerge ourselves in a culture that distances ourselves from our emotions, promotes instant gratification, and always looks to achieve more. Listen in as Justin speaks to staying “woke” by establishing a deeper connection with our inner selves to unveil who we are and our true purposes. Through a combined scientific and spiritual approach, Justin uncovers his method to a simple meditation practice that allows us to forgive ourselves, inspire courage, and help us re-discover our paths to life as we re-ground and unlock our potentials to live a fully alive life. Let’s expand our windows of tolerance and our ability to feel the full breath in the present as we explore the gifts of meditation.
