Why We Have Cravings


Listen Later

 Thom's annual Australian tour is now underway and we'd love to invite you to participate.. We have a range of tour events scheduled, including free introductory talks and a learn to meditate course for those who are new to Vedic Meditation. 

If you've completed a qualified Vedic Meditation course, we invite you to join Tom for knowledge sessions, group meditations and a one-day retreat he has scheduled in Sydney.  

Thom is also offering a five-day four-night retreat in Gerringong, south of Sydney, as well as private mentoring sessions throughout the month.  

You can find out more about all of these offerings at thomknoles.com/sydney.  That's thomknoles.com/sydney.


We’re all familiar with cravings but why do we have them and why are they so powerful? 

What is it about them that makes us go weak at the knees and cave so easily? 

While most of us rely on willpower to beat cravings we know that it’s not a power we can rely on.

In this episode Thom reminds us that the most powerful method to overcome cravings is to make them unnecessary, to create such a strong sense of inner fulfillment that the promise the cravings offer seem petty by comparison. 

Episode Highlights: 

[00:45] Superficial Enjoyment

[02:55] What Fulfillment Looks Like

[04:57] The Solution to Cravings

[06:25] Awakening Baseline Bliss

[07:53] The Binding Effect of Unfulfilled Desires

[10:02] If Only...

[11:25] Petty Cravings No Longer Have Power
