The Mystical Positivist - Radio Show #442 - 18APR26
from The Mystical Positivist · host Stuart Goodnick and Robert Schmidt
Podcast: This week on the show, we present a pre-recorded conversation with author, Peter Russell, about his latest book, How to Meditate Without Even Trying (An Eckhart Tolle Edition), just released from New World Library. The refreshingly simple approach that Peter unfolds in his book replaces effort with ease and reminds readers that true peace of mind is closer than they might imagine. His techniques include the practice of allowing – releasing effort, relaxing the mind, and gently returning to the present moment – to make meditation more enjoyable and effective. In this extended conversation we go deep with Peter to foundations of his approach and how the methods he describes can enrich a variety of spiritual practices. Peter Russell is the author of eleven other books including, Letting Go of Nothing and From Science to God. A teacher of meditation for more than fifty years, he believes the critical challenge today is freeing human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind many of our problems – personal, social, and global. He has inspired thousands through his talks, teachings, retreats, and popular online courses.
