In this episode I continue my captivaating conversation with davidji.

davidji:

·      Had a 20-year career in business, finance, and mergers and acquisitions lead him to a state where he felt like he was sleepwalking through life (sound familiar?)

·      Apprenticed for a decade under Drs. Deepak Chopra and David Simon, serving as the Chopra Center COO, Lead Educator and then as the first Dean of Chopra Center University

·      Trained more than 300,000 people to meditate and certified more than 2,500 meditation teachers. 

What do you suggest for someone who's listening and they're thinking, I really need to give this a try? Where do I start? 

Suggestions for cultivating a daily meditation practice:

  •  It's about consistency versus duration
  • You can cultivate a practice in a small space
    • Start with the 16-Second Technique (a pattern interrupt): Breath in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds

Practice meeting your own needs (aka: Self-Love):

  • You’re beautiful
  • You’re doing a great job
  • I love you

The reason you are not meditating is NOT that you don’t have time. It’s because you don’t think you’re worth the investment. 

What is the ONE main benefit of a meditation practice?

 “We are simply cultivating our ability to witness. Witness ourselves, witness our emotions, witness our purpose in life, witness our direction, witness the world outside of us, witness other people's emotions (we call that emotional intelligence).” And we do this everything else in our lives fall into place. 

Feeling overwhelmed? Meditation.

Looking for clarity? Meditation.

Feeling disconnected? Meditation. 

Impatient? Meditation.

Annoyed? Meditation. 

YOU ARE WORTH IT! Your best decision demands it.

We must remind ourselves that we have a choice in each moment, and that we can choose the best outcome or the most painful outcome. When we make the choice from a place of detachment—trusting that we are not alone and that the Universe is in control—then the highest choice wins!
