 In this new series of episodes called "Snippets of Wisdom", I select my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.

 

 The snippet of wisdom I chose for today comes from my conversation with Chess Edwards, in episode #081. Chess is a meditation teacher and spiritual guide.

 

The conversation took place in November 2020, and it is one of my favourite episodes, with much usable wisdom in the conversation. The snippet I chose today is about meditation - and the topic is of total relevance and timeliness to me right now, because only a few days ago I completed a 10-day silent meditation Vipassana retreat (see previous episode, #267).

 

 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣

 * Devotion and discipline are necessary for spiritual growth

 * Meditation is an interruption of the habits of the mind

 * Self-enquiry: coming into the knowing of the Truth, your eternal nature

 * A moment to stop and feel into what is the self, beyond the mind, prior to mind - the self that isn't being thought, the self that just is

 

 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀:⁣

Welcome to Personal Development Mastery podcast episode 263.

This episode holds a unique record: it is the briefest episode of the podcast so far.

For the following couple of weeks, the podcast will temporarily go back to having only one episode a week. The reason is I am going to attend a 10-day Vipassana silent meditation retreat.

This will be the first time I am doing something like this - I have been feeling an inner calling to do it for quite a while now; and finally, the right opportunity has arisen.

I am going to record a special episode after the retreat has ended, discussing why I’ve decided to do this and what my experience and learnings were. All I will say now is that I am fascinated by the prospect (and the challenging trial) of dealing with nothing else but my own mind for 10 consecutive days.

One last thing: Maybe you know that before Personal Development Mastery, I had another podcast called Personal Development Essentials, which I was presenting with my co-host Paul Greig Smith. Recently, after a long hiatus, we published the final episode - the epilogue of the podcast. It is a resounding call to adventure, crammed with a steady flow of incendiary information that is guaranteed to light a fire under your ass and help adrenalize your inner voice.

 In this new series of episodes called "Snippets of Wisdom", I select my favourite, most insightful moments from previous episodes of the podcast.

 

 The snippet of wisdom I chose for today comes from one of my most highlighted episodes, #170 with Bob Doyle, who is best known for his contribution in the film and book “The Secret”, as a featured law of attraction expert and coach.

 

 The conversation took place in August 2021, and there are many impactful moments and much usable wisdom in it. This snippet is about our auto-pilot behaviours, and how to use mental rehearsal to rewire our brain and step out of those automatic, unconscious responses that we have.

 

 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣

 * Train yourself to become aware in a way that a disempowering emotion is a trigger for you

 * The magic of our brain: you get to rehearse a different way of being ahead of time

 * The reason why personal development has such a tremendous failure rate

 * Fill your mind with the vision of the future and allow it to empower how you're feeling

 

 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀:⁣
