The Extraordinary Ordinary: Creating Anchors When Everything is Shifting
Manage episode 486815275 series 2793286
We're living through unprecedented technological acceleration, where AI threatens jobs, privacy vanishes, and digital distractions fragment our attention. Yet amid this shifting terrain, our internal compass remains our most reliable guide—if we know how to calibrate it.
Drawing from decades of practice, I share my personal approach to maintaining centered awareness in chaotic times. While quick morning routines have their place, the transformative power comes from being a bit more.
Many resist longer practices, finding endless excuses to avoid confronting themselves. But that resistance precisely highlights why extended sessions matter—they break through barriers smaller practices cannot touch.
The guided 20-minute meditation included offers a starting point, focusing on breath awareness and simple mantras. Remember that thoughts will arise—meditation isn't about stopping thoughts (a myth) but developing awareness of when you've drifted. Picture thoughts as soft rags bouncing harmlessly off you rather than obstacles to overcome.
