EP26: Guarding your mind from chaos

Meditation has the power to reconnect you to your breath, your life force, and it has the ability to help you stay grounded and clear about what's most important to you. In a world filled with toxic distractions, it's imperative that you maintain control of your mind if you're going to be a happy, healthy and productive member of society. Especially  now as we experience rapid change to our way of life.  In this episode, I share the story of a Thai soccer team who was trapped for two weeks in a flooded cave  in Mai Sae, Thailand. Their coach, 25 year old, Ekkapol "Ake" Chantawong, a former Buddhist monk, taught the boys how to meditate in an effort to stay calm and conserve energy.  It's a story of hope and survival. Additionally, I recommend two books that I believe will help you develop a more hopeful mindset and guide you in developing a regular meditation practice; Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/figarellesfitness
