Learning from Monks and Establishing Mindfulness

from Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things

In episode 268, I chat with Paul Meek. He always thought mediation as he put it was, "hippie rubbish." When he was 18 he met a woman who completely changed his mind on what mediation really is. At a young teen he felt a bit lost, but after meeting this woman, he then decided to visit a mediation center in the UK. Listen as he talks about that feeling he felt when he finally found something that felt right for him, the importance of self-awareness and intuition, what he's learned from spending a lot of time in monasteries, how learning from monks changed his life, how his growth needed him to let go of old friends, the journey to creating his blog, his tips for mindfulness and more.
