Foundations of Meditation - Part Two: Commitment, Humility, Environment, and Posture


Listen Later

“Spiritual awakening is a force that turns our world upside down. It reveals to us that everything we thought we knew, and every way we thought things worked, and what we thought was important was in fact a construction of our culture and our mind. It shows us that there is so much more to this existence than we ever imagined. So perhaps the most important quality that we can bring to spiritual practice is a profound humility–which is an openness to the unknown.” —Craig Hamilton


Welcome to Episode 13 of our podcast series! This episode is part two in a three-part series on the foundations of meditation.

In "Foundations of Meditation - Part Two: Commitment, Humility, Environment, and Posture," Craig continues our exploration of the fundamentals necessary to establish a profound meditation practice rooted in our highest potentials.

During our meditation journey, we often overlook the vital foundational elements that can build a strong container for deep practice. Sometimes, the meditation feels deeply fulfilling, but at other times, we encounter challenges like boredom, lack of focus, or distraction.

By grounding our meditation in these foundational pillars, we can unlock the full potential of our practice.

In this episode, Craig discusses four of these practice pillars...

First, he explores how two inner foundations–commitment and humility–can support you in staying consistent with your practice and open to new experiences and insights.

Then, he looks at two outer foundations–environment and posture–that can help you show up fully for each moment of practice, relaxed, alert and focused.

Join us and learn how these essential pillars can support your meditation experience and bring greater consistency and depth to your practice.
