We all know that sitting down and focusing on ‘nothing’ is a tough task for many of us. We can all agree that the moment we decide to sit still, our minds wonder off into a rabbit hole filled with worries, cringe-worthy memories and even mundane tasks such as grocery shopping. We like to call this phenomenon chaotic mess and if this sounds like you, first of all, you do not need to feel ashamed and second, this episode is designed for you.
In this episode we will be focusing on moving away from the orthodox beliefs surrounding meditation. Mediation is not the only way to harness mindfulness and in fact, for some, meditation may only complicate things. Zhou’s methods center around mindfulness without ‘normal’ meditation, which they call range from movement, breathwork, single-tasking to even breath-work. Mark my words; these are way more effective. After all, you shouldn’t have to change your life to integrate mindfulness, instead, mindfulness should fit into your schedule.
Alongside that, we also explore how life should neither be treated as an escape nor an escape, instead, it should be enjoyed. In relation to that, consider the simple act of drinking a piping hot cappuccino on a chilly morning; it is relaxing, refreshing, and a way to focus on and appreciate the moment.
If you've looked in the mirror and thought, “I suck at meditating” then let me stop you there, instead of worrying, know that you are not broken in any way and every single person can resonate. Do join us and voila, just like that, meditation will work for you.
