The way we approach meditation is not like how we approach everyTHING else in our life. Meditation is approaching noTHING. So, unlike everything else, in meditation, there is nothing to achieve. There is no future outcome that we desire. There is only the here and now. We do it for the sake of doing it. It is only in this way that all the benefits of meditation can come. Today, Todd talks about the proper way to incorporate meditation into our busy lives, some incorrect assumptions people may have about meditation, and the Zen view on meditation that can help us get the maximum benefit from meditation right away.In this podcast series, Todd shares meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

I'd ran into a guy in India who told me about this Vipassana retreat he'd done. He told me it was super difficult but really great. You have to wake up at 4am everyday and meditate for 12 hours a day.  No phones, no reading, no talking, no writing, don't even look other students in the eye.Eager for real, transformative experiences, I signed up the first chance I got. It was a beautiful meditation retreat in between very small towns about an hour away from Amritsar, India.Many students quit just a couple days in. It would prove to be the hardest, but also the most life-changing two weeks of my life.I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.
