Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter

On a vacation in Chile, Todd hoped to meet with a shaman to learn about the spirituality of the indigenous people of South America. Unfortunately, the shaman had left his home for the winter. However, just one day before Todd was scheduled to leave Chile, his travel companion, who was Chilean, received an unexpected phone call: the shaman would see him now. In this podcast, I share the beautiful beliefs the shaman taught me about spirituality, mother nature, our wonderful meditation ceremony, and the incredible insights this wise man had to share. This shaman experience truly began my spiritual journey and changed the course of my life.For links to meditation videos, follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @ToddPerel and go to EastWesticism.org to learn more.*****If my words have ever touched your heart or helped you through a hard moment, I’d be deeply grateful for your support in keeping this podcast alive.

Todd's spiritual journey happened completely by accident. When on vacation with a friend at a resort in Arizona, what he thought was a horse riding class turned out to be a life-changing exploration and discovery into the window of the human soul.This experience was the spark that took Todd from an award-winning Writer and Creative Director in Manhattan at the world's largest ad agency, to quitting his job, selling all his possessions, and spending the next 8 years living with shamans, Buddhist monks and Hindu gurus around the world.*****If my words have ever touched your heart or helped you through a hard moment, I’d be deeply grateful for your support in keeping this podcast alive.

In this episode of Meditation Made Easy by EastWesticism, Todd Perelmuter shares how meditation is really just humanity's natural state of being. In the modern age, however, we have to actively work to get back to that state of peace and presence by retraining the mind through meditation to be clear, calm, alert and aware.*****If my words have ever touched your heart or helped you through a hard moment, I’d be deeply grateful for your support in keeping this podcast alive.
