Feel like you can’t meditate? Perhaps fighting yourself while meditating? Catch yourself spending time worrying? Or even feel like emotions are a waste of time? In a fast-paced, ever-going, and dynamic world, we’re taught to submerge ourselves in a culture that distances ourselves from our emotions, promotes instant gratification, and always looks to achieve more. Listen in as Justin speaks to staying “woke” by establishing a deeper connection with our inner selves to unveil who we are and our true purposes. Through a combined scientific and spiritual approach, Justin uncovers his method to a simple meditation practice that allows us to forgive ourselves, inspire courage, and help us re-discover our paths to life as we re-ground and unlock our potentials to live a fully alive life. Let’s expand our windows of tolerance and our ability to feel the full breath in the present as we explore the gifts of meditation.
