Meditation can lead us into some extraordinary states of consciousness—moments of stillness, spaciousness, or bliss that feel like a doorway has opened inside us. These states can be deeply nourishing, offering glimpses of something beyond the ordinary mind. But over time, even these expansive experiences can start to feel familiar. When meditation begins to drop us into the same place again and again, it's worth asking: Are these states actually transforming us, or simply soothing us?In this episode, Craig explores the difference between altered states and true awakening—and why confusing the two can quietly limit our growth. Through three focused segments, he examines how certain meditative states can subtly distract us from the deeper aim of practice, and how we can shift our orientation to stay more fully awake within each moment. To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

Pyrrho of Elis (c. 360–270 BCE) was an ancient Greek philosopher and founder of Pyrrhonism, a school of philosophical skepticism. He advocated for epoché (suspension of judgment) as a path to ataraxia (peace of mind). Influenced by his travels to India with Alexander the Great, Pyrrho believed that nothing could be definitively known and that by refraining from beliefs, one could achieve tranquility. His teachings laid the foundation for later skeptical thought in philosophy and medicine.

Ch. 12 - The Great Blind Sea Turtle from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner ON MY RETURN TO the monastery from my brief journey out into the world, I had been warmly greeted by the head monk, Nyayaka Maha Thera, and by my two friends Bhikkhus Sunno and Ratanapala, who were convinced that I had returned for good. It was quite a homecoming. I asked Sunno if he might like to take a walk out to my hut one afternoon and have some tea so we could talk. He was quite pleased by the invitation and promised to visit me soon. The days went by, though, and he didn't come. One day after lunch, I sent the young boy who served me food back into the meditation quarters to fetch Sunno. I didn't think it proper for me simply to wander in there unexpectedly. Sunno appeared with a big smile, and after apologizing for not being able to make it to my kuti, invited me to his quarters. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 39 minutes 01 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Currently based in Seattle, she is the VP of Program Management at Panda Mobile, where she leads the development of community-focused MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) that provide culturally relevant, niche wireless services to underserved markets especially Chinese immigrant communities and university ecosystems. Andrie's life journey is a testament to adaptability, resilience, and the power of starting over. Originally from China, she left everything familiar behind to pursue her education in the U.S. Despite early struggles, she graduated with summa cum laude, won the second place in business plan competition against the entire school, and completed two internships, proving her ability to overcome new challenges quickly. Driven by a desire for citizenship and a new path, she made the bold decision to leave behind her finance background to join the U.S. Army a field she had no prior experience in. Starting from zero, she trained herself to achieve the highest physical fitness award during basic training and excelled in logistics roles, earning several leadership and performance awards throughout her 7.5 years of service and 1 trip of deployment. She further expanded her skills through financial engineering education, security training, and leadership roles. Upon retiring from the military, Andrie once again pivoted, entering the tech world. In just six months, she transitioned from military logistics to completing a successful software engineering internship, mastering new technologies, languages, and delivering impactful projects. In addition to her corporate roles, she is the Founder of the OffChain Global Seattle Chapter, a hub that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and technologists in emerging tech fields like Web3, AI, AR/VR, and IoT, fostering vibrant, cross-functional communities.

Because you can't change the past, and in the past, you have made the best decision for yourself at that moment. It's not fair to judge yourself with the experience and the knowledge that you have now to judge the past of you not making the right decision. But it's not fair, because in the past you, at that moment, with the level of knowledge and experience, made the best decision. So there's no way for you to think the past and regret, and also there's you can plan for the future. But not to get too worried on whether I make a decision now. Would that lead to a different route that I would regret that I didn't take option B, because it's sort of irrelevant too, because you never know what it's going to lead to.  Lock In Early Pricing with CavnessHR As a subscriber to the Jason Cavness Experience, you can lock in early, discounted pricing before our official launch.

Ch. 11 - The Path of Power from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE LIGHT OF GOD. Ishvara, the Lord. Divine Luminescence. Seen with the mind's eye only through a mind that can see. I stared with eyelids drawn immobile at an empty black background. The shimmering disk of cool brilliance was not an object but an event, which eyes cannot see. My attention stayed with my breath as it had for days, the tiny touch of my life against thin skin. The awareness on that single point was almost unbroken. That stillness of mind created the light, the light that cannot be seen, only known, until I felt the light, breathed light as a tingly, glowing star. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 23 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Epicurus (341–270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism, emphasizing the pursuit of a tranquil, happy life through ataraxia (freedom from fear) and aponia (absence of pain). His teachings combined atomism, ethics, and naturalistic theology, advocating simple living, friendship, and the rejection of superstition.

Ch. 10 - The Great Elder from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner AFTER TWO WEEKS OF isolation in the forest, I left the monastery for a short time, mostly to find out about the possibility of returning to Burma. It had been rumored that tourist visas to that country were going to be extended longer than seven days. If so, I could return there soon, and possibly stay for as long as a month. The rumors proved false, however, and I was left with a very open end to my trip. There was no particular rush to get back to Burma now, since that would probably be the last stop on my way home. And I certainly wasn't ready to return home. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 24 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 9 - A Taste of Stillness from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner ON THE MORNING OF the tenth day I interrupted my return to the hut following my breakfast to catch my breath on a high flat rock that afforded a view of the entire valley beneath the monastery. The dawn haze had burned off, revealing the neighboring valley, whose sharply edged checkerboard fields stood out in contrast to the surrounding jungle. Perhaps I romanticized by calling this place “jungle” when, in fact, farmland was everywhere. But there is so much unclaimed land in Ceylon that nowhere in the countryside are you so far from the uncultivated forests that you'd not have second thoughts about wandering off in broad daylight, much less in the dark. No cobras here, though, the monks told me. The mongooses made sure of that. One of them was staring at me from a rock higher up the path. His elongated, rodentlike body was covered with prickly fur that made him look as though he'd been dunked in motor oil. His snoutish face was kind of cute, though, and I'd often seen the monks feeding these animals in the courtyard, as a good turn, no doubt, for the animal's appetite for poisonous snakes. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 20 minutes 53 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 8 - Unmeasured Time from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE ENTIRE ISLAND OF Ceylon has only eight million inhabitants, and as I stood idly waiting for a bus or walked through the streets of Colombo, the capital city, I no longer felt the constant psychic assault that I had been aware of in India. The most obvious difference, however, was that Ceylon was a Buddhist country. Even the most casual conversation easily turned to a common appreciation of the Dharma. There are probably no more Ceylonese who actually practice the heart of Buddha's teachings than there are real practitioners of any religion anywhere, but everyone I met at least understood the value of his teachings and was willing to support those who really did wish to pursue them. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 46 minutes 54 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 7 - No Way Off This Path from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner SIX OF US ARRIVED at the International Meditation Center in Rangoon late in the afternoon of the day the retreat in memory of U Ba Khin was to begin. A charming, middle-aged Burmese gentleman who produced movies for a living met us at the gate and immediately took us on a tour of the grounds. After all the build-up and expectation that had surrounded our trip, it was difficult to appreciate the fact that we were actually there. All we could do was gawk as we followed our host around. The most prominent feature of the Center was the arrangement of the meditation cells, the small individual rooms where one was expected to sit in darkness and silence for most of the day. They surrounded a large central pagoda that contained the shrine room where U Ba Khin himself had sat in meditation. Opening onto the shrine room were eight cells, which were also accessible by doors from the outside. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 29 minutes 48 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 6 - Why the Buddha Sat Under a Tree from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner IMMEDIATELY AFTER HOVER's departure I had begun another retreat, and on New Year's Day Goenka's chanting brought to an end forty continuous days of meditation behind walls for me. An hour after the meditation ended, my monastic woolen shawl and white cotton pajama suit were tucked away in my bag, and I marveled at the strange feel of denim against my skin once again. by Eric Lerner 2025 26 minutes 45 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

During this week’s Perspectives Pastors Podcast, Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany focus on the Story of Tranquility, as inspired by Matthew 8:23-27, the story of Jesus calming the storm – giving orders to the winds and the lake. It’s part of the multi-episode conversation the female pastors of First United Methodist Church have been having about The Stories That Save Us. Through this digital Bible study, the two reverends give their perspective on how they would act if they were in the storm with Jesus and explain what they think this miracle story represents. They discuss: How crossing the lake was an allegory for the early Christian church and that by answering the call to be Christian, you may face more frequent storms. The communal experience of life’s storms and how they affect individuals throughout a community at different levels. How we can foster a culture of tranquility within our communities. We invite you to continue the conversation with friends and family, joining our in-person Convergence discussion group, or visiting our Patreon community where you can unlock more content and inspiration while engaging in online discussion. Here are some questions for you to ponder, as you continue to explore The Story of Tranquility: What are the aspects, signs, and expressions of tranquility? How does a community find peace during a storm? What is the relationship between faith and fear? During this season of Lent, we have additional spiritual growth opportunities to help you explore The Stories that Save Us: Free Journal: Finding Your Stories of Faith – continue investigating each week’s scripture with guided prompts that help you uncover your personal faith stories.

Ch. 5 - Right Effort from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner TOWARD THE END OF the first week of the course, Hover introduced a new schedule for vipassana meditation which he had been shown on his recent trip to Burma. It consisted of six hour-long sittings each day in which the resolve was made not to move at all: two in the morning, three in the afternoon, and one at night after his discourse, plus some hours in the early morning and after tea. It didn't take long for this regimen to produce some very deep pain. Shortly after we began it, a rock-hard knot about the size of a grapefruit surfaced in my neck. It grew in intensity during each hour-long sitting until I could no longer hold my attention on any other part of my body. When I focused right on the pain, my body would be gripped by enormous tension and the knot would suddenly disappear. This thrilled me the first time, but it soon became clear that it only meant that the knot would be back the next hour, stiffer, larger, and more difficult to deal with. by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 40 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

In today's episode, host Pete Moore is joined by dynamic entrepreneur, Kevin Wathey. Kevin shares his journey from a deeply personal tragedy with his Mom, to becoming a multi-faceted entrepreneur, spearheading innovative projects across the globe. The discussion dives into two latest (and very complementary) ventures, including a new wellness resort set in Costa Rica, tailored for high-performing individuals seeking holistic health transformations.  Kevin also touches on Baseline, his health tech platform designed to revolutionize personal health management by offering customized experiences based on unique biological data. With insights on personal motivation, the importance of wellness, and his ambitious plans for future locations in Italy and South Africa, this episode is a must-listen for those interested in the fusion of hospitality, technology, and health. On building out Velara, Kevin mentions, "The acquisition in Costa Rica was a preexisting boutique hotel. It was 24 rooms, two restaurants, a spa, and five acres of beachfront, on the Pacific Coast in the in the Nicoya Blue Zone. The intention was never to keep it as is, but to expand it. Right before we closed on it, the previous owner came to me and said, 'Hey. We have two extra plots of land adjacent. Would you like those as well?" Key themes discussed Overcoming Limits Through Determination Opens Yoga Studio at 24 Beachfront Hotel Expansion Project Pura Vida: A Subtractive Approach Baseline: Life Quality Scoring Platform Redefining Success and Profitability Embrace Workout Recovery Now A few key takeaways:  1. Tragic Inspiration: Kevin shared a deeply personal story about how his mother's battle and subsequent passing from pancreatic cancer inspired him to pursue a "life without limitations." This taught him that whatever we focus on, we have the potential to accomplish. 2. Career Path: Kevin's journey from playing semi-pro hockey to getting into acting, then discovering yoga in Bali, and eventually moving into the hospitality industry, showcases his wide variety of experiences. These varied paths have shaped his entrepreneurial ventures today. 3. Building in Costa Rica: Kevin discussed acquiring and expanding a pre-existing boutique hotel in Costa Rica into a larger resort with a focus on health and wellness tailored to guests through testing prior to their stay. This venture targets high-performing individuals seeking more holistic health experiences. 4. Baseline Health Tech Platform: Complementing the resort, Kevin is also developing Baseline, a health tech platform that provides personalized health scores based on lifestyle and behavioral interventions. It's designed to track a client's health progress over time and is aimed at reducing dependence on pharmaceuticals. 5. Entrepreneurial Vision: Kevin is balancing two major projects simultaneously, driven by an overarching vision of holistic wellness and lifestyle improvement. He sees both as complementary, each aiding the success of the other.

Ch. 4 - Noble Silence from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner BENARES, THE SPIRITUAL CAPITAL of Hinduism, and the site of our next retreat, had been one of the most exciting places I'd visited in India or anywhere else in my travels around the world four years earlier. It's a city of death and rebirth. Pilgrims gather there to bathe away their sins in the holy Ganges River waters and then patiently await the end of this life in order to be cremated beside the Mother of Waters. Saddhus and holy men mingle freely with the poor and the well-to-do. Everyone is a beggar at the end. The fires of cremation along the river banks produce eerie, smoky sunsets while the holy chanting of “Hare Krishna,” “Hare Krishna” goes on night and day. by Eric Lerner 2025 30 minutes 25 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Mesilat Yesharim 1-84

Presented by Lauren Stibgen I love to learn. In fact, learning is one of the things I do best. Relying on God's Word as my guide in all aspects of my life means that, as a Christ follower I should always be discerning about the world's advice no matter how good it seems! With the Bible as my guide, I am always keen to get advice about things in business! Don't get me wrong, there are many experts I trust who are not believers in Jesus Christ, but when it comes to something truly personal, like the term inner peace, my guard comes up. What is inner peace? For sake of ease, let's go with the Wikipedia version—a deliberate state of psychological or spiritual calm despite the potential presence of stressors. There are many more technical versions of this definition from research articles, but all of them seem to reference the same spiritual calm and religious aspect of this sometimes-elusive state of being. Some of the other words and phrases associated with inner peace are: Tranquility of mind No sufferings or mental disturbances like worry or anxiety, greed, hatred, ill-will To keep strong in the state of stress[1] Luke 12:15 warns: Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. 1 Timothy 6:10a: For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. 1 John 2:9 exhorts: Anyone that claims to be I the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Proverbs 10:12: Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers all wrongs. Here's what our culture gets right. Inner peace is, in fact, spiritual. For those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we know Jesus is that peace. I also find it interesting that some of the words above greed, hatred, and ill-will are exactly the things we, as Christ followers are commanded not to do. In fact, they are considered sinful. In the verses above, the Bible tells us we should guard against greed; it is the root of all kinds of evil. Hatred of another person means you are still in darkness, and it stirs up conflict. None of this sounds peaceful to me. Now, since so many people are seeking this inner peace, how do we get it? Out of three separate articles I read, the top three reoccurring ways to “find inner peace” include: meditation, nature, and practicing gratitude. First, what is meditation. We hear about this a lot. Books, apps, and classes tout meditation as a way to reduce anxiety and get better sleep. Most of these resources use reflective thinking, some breathing exercises, and practices to help declutter your mind and be present in the moment. We can already see the issue of this for those of us who follow Jesus Christ. This method is devoid of a Savior who is our peace. The Bible does suggest meditation. In Joshua 1:8 we read, Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. We are also instructed to meditate on God's unfailing love, on his work and mighty deeds, on his precepts and ways, and on his promises. All these instructions are found in the Psalms. So, the world tells you to declutter and clear your mind, but when you stop meditation, what creeps right back in? You guessed it—the same things that were there before! The difference with God's instruction about meditation is clear. You are to think about his laws, his unfailing love, his ways, and his promises. This is peaceful. The verse in Joshua also tells us to do this day and night which highlights the importance of the frequency of filling our mind with the Word and the wonderful ways of the Lord! So, how can you do this? I suggest several things. First, start and end your day in the Word of the Lord. There is a wonderful devotional by Charles H. Spurgeon titled Morning and Evening that offers a devotional—you guessed it—in the morning and evening...

Ch. 3 - A Peacock is More Than a Bird from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner IN MID-NOVEMBER, after nearly three weeks of waiting, I finally took a train to a small city in Gujarat state in the far west of India. It was the nicest time of the year in that part of the country. The weather was warm and dry with an empty blue sky all day, and the area had a different feel to it than any place I had been. It was less intense, almost relaxed, and without the air of desperation that much of India had those days, as its economy teetered toward collapse. by Eric Lerner 2025 35 minutes 28 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.
