    60. Meditation, Ayurveda & The Laws of Nature with Mark Bunn

    In this episode, I’m joined by Mark Bunn, a former professional AFL footballer, Ayurvedic health practitioner, Transcendental Meditation teacher, three-time bestselling author of Ancient Wisdom for Modern Health, leading corporate wellbeing speaker, and former CEO of the David Lynch Foundation Australia.   Mark has spent decades exploring the relationship between meditation, Ayurveda, consciousness and the natural laws that govern human health and wellbeing.   Together, we unpack meditation from a simple and accessible perspective, exploring what actually happens when we meditate, why the mind behaves the way it does, and how learning to work with our nature rather than against it can transform the way we practise and live.   Topics covered: • What meditation actually is • Why meditation is worth practising • The laws of nature and living in harmony with them • Why the mind naturally moves towards greater happiness • The principle of “following charm” • What Ayurveda is and how it relates to meditation • Sattva and its relationship to clarity and consciousness • Why we resist meditation even when we know it is good for us • Common misconceptions about controlling or emptying the mind • Why a busy meditation does not necessarily mean a bad meditation • How meditation can become simpler, more natural and more enjoyable   A beautiful conversation for anyone wanting to understand meditation more deeply, while keeping the practice grounded, simple and applicable to everyday life.   🙏 Connect with Mark Bunn 🌐 Website: https://dharmicliving.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dharmicliving108/ 🎤 Speaking: https://markbunn.com.au   🙏 Stay Connected & Explore More: 📸 Instagram: @ashbrown.meditation 📺 YouTube: Ash Brown Meditation 🎙 Spotify: Ash Brown Meditation Show 🌐 Website: ashbrownmeditation.com 📩 Email: ashleysarinebrown@gmail.com

    59. Mantra Meditation, Part 3: How to Practise Mantra - Styles & Techniques - Insight #28

    There are many different ways to practise mantra, and each one works with the mind, sound and attention in a slightly different way.   In this third and final episode of our three-part series on Mantra Meditation, we move from philosophy into practice. We explore some of the most common forms of mantra, from the repetition of a mantra using mala beads, to seed sounds, devotional chanting, deity mantras and silent meditation.   Topics covered: ✨ Japa Mala and the power of repetition ✨ Bīja Mantras and the seed sounds of the chakras ✨ Kirtan, Bhakti Yoga and devotional chanting ✨ Deity Mantras and invoking qualities of consciousness ✨ Transcendental and Vedic approaches to mantra meditation ✨ Sahaja Mantra and silent mantra practice   At the heart of mantra practice is the understanding that what we repeatedly place our attention upon, we begin to strengthen within ourselves.   Whether mantra is used to steady the mind, cultivate concentration, open the heart, awaken a particular quality, or guide awareness into deeper states of meditation, it gives us a way to work intentionally with the thoughts and vibrations we introduce into our internal world.   🙏 Stay Connected & Explore More: 📸 Instagram: @ashbrown.meditation 📺 YouTube: Ash Brown Meditation 🎙 Spotify: Ash Brown Meditation Show 🌐 Website: ashbrownmeditation.com 📩 Email: ashleysarinebrown@gmail.com

    57. Mantra Meditation, Part 1: What Is Sanskrit? Insight #26

    Before we can really understand mantra, we first need to understand the language it comes from: Sanskrit.   In this first episode of our three-part series on Mantra Meditation, we explore what makes Sanskrit so unique, where it comes from, and why sound and vibration are considered such an important part of this ancient language.    Rather than approaching Sanskrit purely as a language of words and meanings, we explore it as a highly refined system of sound designed to communicate, preserve and transmit subtle dimensions of experience.   Topics covered:   ✨ What is Sanskrit? ✨ Sanskrit as a language of sound and vibration ✨ Why pronunciation matters and why intention matters even more ✨ The difference between mantra and affirmation ✨ The Vedas, Upanishads and the origins of Sanskrit ✨ Shruti, the rishis and “unchanging truths” ✨ Why Sanskrit has remained so significant for thousands of years   Sanskrit offers us a fascinating doorway into understanding mantra because its sounds are traditionally understood to carry significance beyond intellectual meaning alone. Through the Vedas, the Upanishads and the concept of shruti, we begin to see Sanskrit not simply as an ancient language, but as a vehicle for exploring consciousness, reality and the deeper nature of the self.   In Part 2, we’ll move deeper into mantra itself, exploring the meaning of the word mantra, the philosophy of vibration, and how mantra works within the mind during meditation.   🙏 Stay Connected & Explore More: 📸 Instagram: @ashbrown.meditation 📺 YouTube: Ash Brown Meditation 🎙 Spotify: Ash Brown Meditation Show 🌐 Website: ashbrownmeditation.com 📩 Email: ashleysarinebrown@gmail.com
