DreamState Livin’ | Ep. #12 | Living With Monks at 22

In this episode of the DreamState Livin’ podcast, I share the raw, transformative story of when I lived with monks in Thailand at age 22. From arriving in Southeast Asia without a plan to immersing myself in the stillness of monastery life, this experience shaped my inner world in ways no book or podcast ever could.I open up about the daily routines, the battle with my own monkey mind, and the breakthrough that brought me a deep, unshakable peace. We talk mindfulness, the illusion of fulfillment from the outside world, and the real work—bringing that monk-like awareness back into the chaos of modern life.Key Takeaways:The monastery isn’t about converting—it’s about remembering who you are.True fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing—it comes from sitting still.Peace is found in presence, but integration is the real challenge.DreamState was born to bring that inner stillness into everyday life.Tune in for a story that’ll make you slow down, breathe deeper, and maybe even question what you’re really chasing.
