“When you just leave your mind alone for extended periods of time, you start to see profound depths and profound stillness.” We live in beautiful times where meditation is no longer a fringe ritual. You can even practice on your phone in the comfort of your home any time you choose! This is good news because meditation as a practice offers profound benefits. You can expect everything from the ability to create stillness and clarity to an awareness of the vast potential we have as humans. But what happens if you’re a ‘bad’ meditator? And what layers are we really uncovering when we sit with stillness and become the observer of our thoughts? In this powerful episode, mindfulness teacher Jon Krop explains how you can use meditation to live more skillfully in the modern world. His insights could be life-changing for you. “Meditation is really just a practice of cultivating new mental habits.” Jon Krop is a Harvard-educated lawyer and mindfulness expert who’s been meditating for over 13 years. Through his company Mindfulness For Lawyers, Jon has taught mindfulness at Harvard, Yale, the Pentagon, the world’s top law firms, Fortune 100 companies, and other organizations. His obsession for mindfulness began at law school as he explored strategies to increase his grades and get a cognitive edge. After a chance meeting in Argentina led him to study with the Dalai Lama’s Latin American translator, Jon explored the spiritual benefits too. Although Jon has studied with traditional Buddhist teachers, his teaching style resonates with people who aren’t drawn to chanting, crystals, and new age overtones. If that sounds like you then you’ll especially love this interview!Given our current times, an ability to create stillness, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity is more important than ever - and Jon is here to help you walk that essential path. Here’s a taste of what Jon and I discuss: The story of Jon’s transition from law to mindfulness. The power of week-long meditation retreats. Jon’s response to coronavirus. The potency of impermanence and why we need to embody this reality. How to feel grounded enough to surrender. The potential of these times to spark transformation and transcendence. How do you empower someone who ‘can’t’ meditate.What is meditation supposed to look like? And more! Check it out. “Meditation will force you to learn over time to let go of expectations, to let go of the need for perfection, and to realise that you aren’t really driving. So just lean back and enjoy the ride.” How to contact Check out www.Mindfulnessforlawyers.com@JonKrop on InstagramWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

Jon Jackson founded STAG VETS INC. in 2014 to assist homeless veterans, veterans in need and veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury.  Jon earned his stripes by serving his country with the elite 75th Ranger Regiment.  While serving, Jon endured six deployments with a combine total of 40 months of combat time in his first 8 years of service.While overseas Jon provided direct support to multidisciplinary Special Operations Teams spread across austere environments. His Can-Do anything attitude was essential for him to thrive in an environment where critical decisions needed to be made that had a positive impact on every mission.For his actions, Jon was awarded numerous awards and decorations to include the Bronze star for exceptional Cross Continental Management skills that resulted in the kill and capture of High Value Enemy Targets.  Although Jon achieved so much as an US Army Airborne Ranger, the extensive combat deployments paid its price. In January 2013 Jon was diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury due to multiple blasts from IEDs’ and chronic Post Traumatic Stress.Due to his health and family being more important to him, Jon made the hard decision and sacrifice to medically retire from the 75th Ranger Regiment.  Saddened by his ordeal, Jon decided that he was not going to let PTSD and TBI determine his future, nor will he let these injuries define the thousands of vets who are suffering with no assistance.With his knowledge, exceptional leadership skills, and drive to take care of others. Jon created STAG VETS Inc to reintegrate homeless vets, vets suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury receive the care they deserve and use sustainable farming as a tool to build communities and instill a sense of pride into the team of vets that are working through the program.http://veteranpodcast.com/025
