Zen Commuter

As we wait for the interview with Mat Fritzen, I thought I would share with you the thoughts of another meditation teacher. Today,Giovanni Dienstmann talks about the superpowers of meditation

ZEN Commuter is about meditation of course, but also about becoming calmer in your daily life.  Many people struggle with the idea that they can create calm wherever they want to.  Today I talk about 4 things to understand to create the peace of mind you desire.

Physical pain is something we have all experienced.  Whether it is from a particularly intense workout, an accident or even chronic pain that is experienced over a greater length of time.  Whatever the source or duration, meditation has been immensely helpful to millions of people experiencing pain in helping them find relief.  Today I will be exploring the nature of pain and how to utilize meditation to ease the suffering that comes with it.

Today is a monumental day here at ZEN Commuter.  Today is the 1000th episode, and I couldn't have done it without you.  Truly, I am so grateful for your listenership and trust in me helping you become even calmer, wiser and happier than you already are.  You can bet that within the next 1000 episodes I will help you perfect your meditation practice along with helping you experience the world in a remarkably joyous way.  Thanks again; I Love You all.

It's been a long and beautiful road to episode 1000, that comes out tomorrow.  I thought I would share with you the first episode of ZEN commuter, today.  Enjoy, a true throwback Thursday!

On today's episode I continue talking about the ways to integrate mindfulness and exercise to optimize your health.  There is a specific order and way to practice the two, and today I will talk about how that is.  Come listen.

The combination of mindfulness and exercise is an awesome duo for optimal health. However, the two aren't always optimal together. Come find out what the right conditions are for using the two at the same time, and when it is best to do one after the other

After reading an article in the Huffington Post, I came to the conclusion that I was not the only one wondering if Buddhism is a religion or philosophy. Today I'll read that are to you that puts the question in context.

Noah Rasheta is a Buddhist teacher, lay minister, and author, as well as the host of the podcast Secular Buddhism. He teaches mindfulness and Buddhist philosophy online and in workshops all around the world. He works with others to make the world a better place as he studies, embodies, and teaches the fundamentals of Buddhist philosophy, integrating Buddhist teachings with modern science, humanism, and humor.

Meditation is an awesome way to begin to understand who you are and why you are here.  It can lead to some deeply spiritual awakenings.  However, in the western part of the world the emphasis isn't so much on who we are, but rather, how much can we get done.  Accordingly, even though it is a perfect spiritual too, today I want to discuss how meditation can help you become more creative at work.
