Why We Meditate

This week we talk to my friend Ben who has been meditating for the last 25 years. We talk about how he got introduced to the practice through Zen, his further sits with Goenka Vipassana, and his continued studies with the Insight meditation tradition.

This week we talk to Jairaj Ramachandran about why he meditates. Jairaj has practiced Yoga for the last 40 years and Meditation has been an integral part of his practice.
