180: Find Harmony and Balance from an Ancient Practice with Nate Rifkin

"An exciting plan is built on a foundation of daily disciplines." -Nate Rifkin   Often, when we are faced with problems, the first thing we do is find a solution. But what if, instead of finding out what to do, we do nothing at all? Problems cause us stress and looking for an answer gives us additional stress, which is not so productive in any way. We're not saying it's better to mope all day and just give up. We're saying, what if we stop for a moment and reset before we continue on?    Meditation is a technique that has helped many to unravel the crowd of thoughts that clouds their mind. But is this ancient practice still effective in this contemporary world? The Standing Meditation author, Nate Rifkin can attest to that! Learn how meditation has personally helped Nate overcome depression, anger, and bad habits and create new patterns. Ted and Nate also discuss where to start with meditation and important points to ponder as you set new goals, install new habits, and handle adversities.    We all have childhood stories and emotions shut deep within us.
