Zen Commuter

When we turn our minds from affect to investigation we neutralize the emotional volatility of moments that seem angry or fearful. Today, I share a great article that talks about how to do just that; investigate the feelings instead of getting caught up in their energy.

Episode 2000! Can you believe it? I certainly can’t. But I am extremely grateful that it is here. After wondering what I should talk about on this special day I turned to my meditation cushion for guidance, coincidentally enough. While she may not have thought that she should warrant an episode, today I talk about the true founder of Zen Commuter, my Mom. Her wisdom and Love are the reasons I do what I do, and it seems only right to focus on all she did to get us to episode 2000!

My journey to Soulful Living was born out of struggle Starting at a young age, anxiety and depression crept into my life and I experienced some very difficult times. One day someone gave me a book that would change my outlook on life and make me think differently about everything - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It lit a fire inside me and I began to learn everything I could about meditation and the Law of Attraction. This knowledge was empowering and liberating - the power to heal and change is within us all. Movement & meditation is medicine for the soulWith a new sense of self, I began learning more about how the mind and body work together. I turned to meditation to help find inner peace and clarity, but I also found a new sense of freedom and a reconnection with my true identity.   Georgia Pitfield - Soulful Living online   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Become a Super-Fan of the Show Support ZEN commuter and get access to patron bonuses THANKS FOR LISTEN

Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role

Martin is “a man on the mend”, a recovered alcoholic with a debauched and materially-immersed past life of spilt milk under burnt bridges. Moments from suicide, his Beagle talked him out of it. This rock-bottom moment launched a phenomenal journey of self healing and personal transformation. "If you told me I had five minutes left to live, I'd spend that time basking in gratitude for the incredible gift of life. I want others to have that choice too.” - Martin O’Toole Through his experiences of the “pointless pursuance of success”, Martin uncovered the alchemy of everlasting happiness. Understanding the depths of depression and contrasting heights of delight, his compulsion to share his story has resulted in a podcast and brand new book, How To Die Happy.

Today I share some ideas about how, or if, to engage with errant thoughts. Most people believe that the goal of meditation is to free the mind of all its myriad creations. However, the goal of meditation is to train the mind to have one thought exclusively, thus silencing the others. Appropriately enough, our discussion today will focus on what to do with random thought, in our sessions and our waking lives.   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Become a Super-Fan of the Show Support ZEN commuter and get access to patron bonuses THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Meditation isn’t one of those things that you have to master. In fact, the very nature of a practice is that understanding; that you never will be perfect, and you shouldn’t try. However, there are things to make your sessions more impactful, like posture. Today i discuss proper posture for meditating when sitting in a chair. And I will also talk about when to forget about it.
