How To Mindfully Meditate For Absolute Beginners
Yesterday, a friend asked me how to meditate, that talk inspired this episode. Here is my guidance for absolute beginners:
1: sit comfortably (no pain or sleepiness)2: set a timer for 5 minutes3: pick a meditation object (breath, vision, sound)4: when you notice a wandering kind, bring it back to focus. A successful session is one that you complete, ideally every day!
For further instruction on how to meditate, check out my book ‘Mindfulness, A Guidebook To The Present Moment’.

If You Know The Way Broadly You Will See It In All Things - Samurai Wisdom
When you dedicate yourself to one thing, the lessons learnt begin to help you with everything.
In this episode I discuss the quote by Miyamoto Musashi 'If you know the way broadly you will see it in all things' - applying the lessons I have learnt in martial arts, poetry, meditation, chess and life to one another, discussing the intersection between them all, as well as some of the implications and takeaways of 'knowing the way'.
I also discuss how there is a silver lining to be found in setback, injury, and illness - if we know how to look for it.

Escape The Labels That Define You
The moment we label something, it is limited. The label isn’t the truth, it is a representation of, it’s a finger pointing to the moon, it is a suggestion of possibility that always falls short of reality.
In this episode I share the following poem and muse about its implications, leaving you with the spiritual practice of looking beyond the label, to see what it is pointing to, pulling it all the way back to the core, to consciousness.
all labelsare an abstractionof form
baring one;consciousness
