Join me as I chat with Tom Cronin, who discovered the life-changing benefits of meditation after reaching a crisis point in his life, dealing with anxiety, addictions, depression, and chaos. Listen in as Tom talks about his experience with Transcendental Meditation and the immediate positive impact it had on him. We explore the connections between meditation, spirituality, and interconnectedness, and discuss Tom's vision of a future society that prioritises collective well-being and consciousness over individual success.

 

We navigate the waters of spirituality and its deep correlation with our inner selves. We dive into our shadow side, unmasking the origin of pain and suffering, and revealing how meditation acts as a tool for inner healing. The denser forms of water become the metaphorical lens through which we explore the profound interconnectedness of our world, throwing light on the intricacies of our existence and our quest for true self-realisation.

 

In the final segment of the episode, we look at the pillars of our society and discuss the significant consequences of the current outdated model. We explore how new systems that value a completely different set of values need to be designed, and discuss the current economic model that is leading us to an unsustainable future.

 

Finally, an announcement: I’m excited to share that starting today we’re going back to 2 episodes a week: a conversation each Monday and a shorter episode on Thursday, either a solo or a “snippet of wisdom”. I’m looking forward to providing you with even more actionable insights and practical wisdom!

 

Stand out, don’t fit in!
