Spiritually Awake, Socially Inconvenienced: When Meditation Starts Working

from The People Who Make Us · host Jonny Thyne

Jen is back, and I have to be honest with you- becoming more spiritually aware has made me a worse bar patron. We talk about what actually happens when meditation starts working: you feel everything, you notice everything, and sometimes you're stuck in a room where the energy is genuinely terrible and you just have to be there anyway. We also get into what it means to love yourself on the days when you're disconnected, why there are no rules in meditation even though it kind of feels like there are, and Jen's origin story (which involves finding the teacher she'd been looking for her whole life and then choosing the bar instead.) She ends us with a question that I'm still sitting with. Head to the link below, drop your answer in the anonymous submission box, and Jen and I are bringing your responses into our next episode together.If you'd still like to join the meditation challenge, that link is below, as well!https://jonnythyne.com/reflecthttps://www.lightsourcecenter.org/21day/
