Episode Description
Meditation is simply a tool not an end. In these challenging times, the need for inner peace, grounding, and centering in our lives—and for our mental health—has never been greater. But what exactly is meditation? In the West, the concept of meditation has often been adapted and diluted in various ways to serve personal wellness and achievement goals. However, meditation goes far beyond wellness. At its core, it is a practice that awakens you to your true nature and aligns you with your life’s mission. In this special podcast episode, I humbly offer answers to some of the most common questions I’ve received from clients and my community. Why has meditation become so popular today? I meditate, so what’s next? Let’s explore these questions from a Myoku perspective, a Zen mind-body practice designed to bring inner peace and self-realization. The 21st century is about connecting with the “Self”, rediscovering our true nature, expanding consciousness, and contributing to conscious evolution for humanity and the planet. It’s about embracing oneness as a new worldview—an awakening that is transforming our mindset, our relationship with ourselves, the environment, and the universe.
