This meditation episode invites you to take a moment to ground yourself and then observe your own thoughts like clouds in a sky.  As human beings, thoughts are a normal and natural part of who we are, so rather than try to stop thinking, what would happen if we observe them with more distance and in a non-judgemental way.

MEDITATION: Connecting with your purpose

This meditation episode invites you to become connect with the part of you that knows why you do what you do, and that's it connected to something bigger.  Maybe this is your sense of purpose, or something else - knowing exactly what it is, doesn't matter, simply know that it's there and allow yourself to connect with it.

Mastering your Internal System

We might think our "head" is in charge.  However, have you ever found body having a reaction before your head has even had time to "think" about what's going on?

What if, rather than our head being in charge, we were a complex system, or a network of complex systems, of which our head was only a small part?  And that our head wasn't in charge?

What might this make possible?  In this episode, Stephen talks about the importance of our Autonomic Nervous System and how we've spent years conditioning it to respond automatically given certain circumstances.
