About The Guest:

  • Shawn Alexander is a personal trainer and meditation practitioner with over 20 years of experience. He has a background in competitive bodybuilding and powerlifting and has studied meditation and mindfulness extensively.

  • Summary:
    Shawn Alexander shares his personal journey of self-discovery and mindfulness through meditation. He discusses how his upbringing and experiences led him to seek validation through physical accomplishments, such as bodybuilding. However, he eventually faced the consequences of his extreme training and steroid use, which led to a life-threatening illness. This experience sparked his curiosity about the nature of consciousness and the mind. Shawn explains that there is a deeper awareness underneath our thoughts and emotions, which he refers to as pure awareness or consciousness. He emphasizes the importance of quieting the mind through meditation to tap into this awareness and experience inner peace and clarity. Shawn also discusses the interconnectedness of all beings and the power of manifestation through consciousness.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Our thoughts and emotions are not who we truly are. There is a deeper awareness or consciousness underneath them.
    • Meditation and mindfulness can help quiet the mind and connect with the stillness and peace within.
    • We are all connected through a collective consciousness, and our thoughts and intentions can manifest our reality.
