As I get ready to embark on a silent meditation retreat in July, I thought I would see what other people have experienced with that. Today I share the experiences of Sarah Rudell Beach.

Founder of Neomind.co, Zenon Bihun joins me today to talk about how an adolescent emptiness lead him to learn how to meditate. You won't want to miss it.

If you have been meditating for a while you know the benefits that you are experiencing.  You hopefully have increased your ability to focus, your kindness and compassion and your sense of peace, to name a few.  How cool would it be if your kids experienced the same thing.  Of course you know they can.  Today an article from the Huffington Post talks about how to make that happen.

It's always a good time to talk to someone who is living a life dedicated to Love. Today I rebroadcast my interview with Scott Stabile, author of Big Love. He joins me to talk about how to live a life governed by unconditional Love.

I have told you that meditation allows you the ability to connect with your higher self, to access your divinity.  Today I want to share with you a very special episode.  Today, I will share with you the wisdom that my Mom, Beverly Walters, experienced in her meditation sessions.

A meditation practice works best when it is performed daily.  Ultimately, it is the best daily practice you will have for the rest of your life.  But the thought of doing anything for the rest of your life seems daunting to some people.  Regardless of desire, there may be a time when the hustle and bustle of life pushes your meditating to the side.  What do you do to restart the habit once it has lapsed?  Let's talk about it.

Of course I talk about what happens within a meditation, what happens to your body and your soul.  But every meditation session has to end at some point, and for some people, the next steps seem a little confusing.  Today I want to talk about how to end your meditation session.

I get a kick out of blog posts that list the top meditation retreats around the world or around the country.  The very thought that a meditation facility or retreat center would care about accolades is funny.  The truth is, you don't need to spend a ton of money, or even any money, to go on a meditation retreat.  Today, I talk about how to get it done.

How many people do you see in a day?  I mean, think of them all, friends, family and total strangers. depending on where you live, you see a lot of people in a day.  And yet many times, the majority of them are invisible to you.  You willingly and unwillingly, pass many people in the day and don't even connect with them.  But does that serve you, treating some people as strangers, as insignificant?  Today I talk about why you treat some people as strangers, and how your life will change when you don't.

I have always prided myself on being a kind person.  In my life now, I seek to follow a buddhist tenet of never killing.  However, I still wrestle with my love of, and consumption, of meat.  Listener Michael Brooks asked me to address this conundrum on the show.  Today, I talk about the apparent controversy between eating meat and not killing.
