What If You’ve Been Meditating Wrong? Insights from 3 Ancient Cultures

Wellness Curated

You wake up anxious. Your mind races. The to-do list grows longer, and even when you sit to meditate, stillness feels impossible.

Sound familiar? You might not be meditating “wrong” — just not in the way your body truly needs.

In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Yirser Ra Hotep — a master of Kemetic meditation, Tai Chi, and Qigong — as he reveals how ancient wisdom from Egypt, China, and India offers a very different take on what meditation really is.

Together, they explore how movement, breath, posture, and awareness are seamlessly integrated into daily life across these traditions — and how that can help soothe your nervous system, anchor your awareness, and bring you back to your body.

If sitting still doesn’t work for you, maybe it’s not your fault. Maybe it’s the method.

🎧 Tune in now to discover how ancient cultures reimagined meditation — and ask yourself: is it time you did too?
