The world is changing faster than ever. Today's generation is growing up totally different than their parents.  Not everyone will understand the changes, and not all changes will be beneficial to human flourishing.When we stay balanced on our middle path, we can take into account our family's feelings, but we can also live our own life, our way and on our terms. We can welcome advice, but we can listen to our heart. And when we come up against resistance, pessimism, stubbornness or pushiness, we can do what is right for us with love and kindness for those who will never understand.In today's podcast, the second part of a 2-part series on contentment and satisfaction, we dive into meaning, purpose, ambition, dreams, goals, success, family dynamics, and confidently living the life the of your dreams.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Someone recently asked me, "How do you reconcile the whole, 'Everything is a beautiful part of the tapestry,' with all the ugliness present in the world? Is hatred, malice, vengeance not a part of the tapestry?"In today's podcast, I talk about why we can't see the beauty, balance and oneness. I talk about what obscures our view of the miraculous nature of our universe. And I share how we can pierce that veil of ignorance and see beyond suffering, beyond expectations, and beyond the prison of polarities, of likes and dislikes, and see the infinite perfection all around us.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

 A healthy amount of fear is good. It prevents us from taking a selfie too close to the edge of a cliff. But when fear goes beyond protecting us from danger, that's when fear becomes dangerous. When it morphs into protecting us from the slightest discomfort, then fear can become our prison.Fear is an insidious monster that can take over our entire lives if we're not careful. It can turn every window of opportunity into a locked door. It can paralyze us, stunt our growth, and prevent us from living a full life.So how do we overcome fear? How do we find comfort in the uncomfortable? And how can we both try new things, work to achieve big dreams, but still be happy with what we have right now? I answer all these questions and more in today's podcast.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

We will all feel all of the human emotions throughout our lives. That's part of life. But when we let ourselves get swept away by those emotions, then we can act unmindfully and in ways that can hurt our reputation and relationships. When our emotions carry us away, we lose ourselves and we feel the emotions with great intensity as if they are happening to us.When we are present, we don't feel emotions. Instead, we simply witness the sensations of our ever-changing emotions and thoughts. In today's podcast, I share some simple ways to help us stay present when heavy emotions come over us. I discuss how we can respond to difficult situations calmly and skillfully. And I share ways to reframe our stressors so that those heavy emotions don't come over us in the first place.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.
