Podcast appearances and mentions of chad foreman

On this week's episode, Chad Foreman from The Way of Meditation spoke about the different paths to Self-realization. There are direct paths like Advaita Vedanta which teach us that we are already enlightened, and we simply have to find a way to realize that pre-existing truth. On the other hand, there are gradual paths which require the steady practice of spiritual techniques like meditation, yoga, and chanting as a way to prepare the body and mind for enlightenment. Chad tries to reconcile these two different methods in his teachings. Find out more by visiting his website: The Way of Meditation

My guest in this episode was Chad Foreman. It was a really interesting discussion on buddhism and meditation practice. We touch on the purpose of meditation, the perennial philosophy, and buddha coffee mugs :) Chad answered all my questions on the fly, showing that he really knows his stuff and is a good resource for this topic. Special thanks to Chad Foreman for appearing on this episode. Again you can find a direct link to his Facebook page and blog in our show notes. Take a listen to his guided meditations, they really are fantastic. My favorite point in the interview was when Chad was describing the playfulness he experiences in our Buddha nature. Between that and how he explains the ease and relief he experienced when he realized that there wasn’t anything he had to do to obtain Buddha nature, it makes me feel like the whole thing is just waiting there with open arms, ready to play. Thanks for listening and we’ll catch you next time. Find us on Facebook at Exit The Echoes, Twi
