TODAY ONLY: In honor of World Meditation Day, take 21% off our core meditation training zivaONLINE with code SURPRISE: https://zivameditation.com/jointoday === What if you could turn into a happiness billionaire AND share it with the world? Today's episode is with Emily's dear friend and colleague, Light Watkins. As members of the same spiritual family, they've known each other for well over 15 years and were brought up in a similar meditation teacher training. Light has written over 4 bestselling books and is a world-renowned meditation teacher. He's also what he calls a “one-bagger” - living nomadically out of a carry on since 2018. In this episode, they discuss why so many people don't have a meditation practice they can commit to, how to fall in love with your practice and make the mundane more meditative. They also explore why you don't need to “clear your mind” in order to meditate and how meditation practices for busy people differ from more monastic techniques. Light also shares this concept of the fake inner voice versus the real inner voice: do you often listen to the voice of stress or the voice of your heart? Towards the end, they explain what it takes to become a meditation teacher in this type of lineage and the dedication that is required to teach these tools. Love the episode?

Could you live out of a single backpack? Not for a few weeks or months, but as a lifestyle choice? Well, five years ago, today's guest gave up his luxury apartment, its contents, his cars and all his possessions – apart from those that fit into his trusty backpack. Light Watkins has been practising daily meditation for 20 years and teaching it for 15. He's a mindfulness expert and the bestselling author of four books. His latest book, Travel Light: Spiritual Minimalism to Live a More Fulfilled Life might sound like a guide to decluttering – and in some ways it is. But Light is not necessarily talking about us getting rid of our possessions, he's trying to help us clear away our inner clutter - the mental baggage that weighs us down, so that we can better see the path to fulfilment and happiness. Light believes that we should be following our hearts more, and our heads less. This involves knowing our values, tuning in to our curiosity and then taking small leaps of faith towards our purpose. He explains why a daily practice of stillness and contemplation is so important and shares practical advice that will help you make friends with your thoughts and turn your mind into your ally. He also explains how meditation works to dissolve stress and feed our intuition. It really is a fantastic conversation that takes us to some really deep and meaningful places - we discuss whether time can ever really be wasted. Light talks us through his own minimalist fitness regime – and you'll find out why he thinks meditation is like a Rubik's Cube, as well as why he sometimes takes his showers fully clothed! Above all, Light's minimalist philosophy is about breaking free from the ‘achievements bring happiness' approach to life and discovering that happiness really does come from within.

It's natural that you do your best if you are passionate about what you're doing. If you do things you are not passionate about, it's going to be hard for you to do or be the best. Doing conventional things makes everything complicated. We talk about listening to the small voice inside your head to do the things you are passionate about and the impact it has on your life.Your heart never lies to you. It's always precise about the things that will be good in your life. Sometimes it can be hard to do whatever your heart tells you to do, and it will take more effort from you. But that's how your heart helps you to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.Join us as Light Watkins guides us towards a life of mindfulness, authenticity, and self-realization.[07.00] Minimalism – Starting the conversation, Light shares the difference between minimalism and spiritual minimalism.[14.56] Vedic meditation – We discuss how Vedic meditation works and its two types of meditators.[21.50] Self-realization – The universe has a voice.
