How To Take A Pause On Busy Days – Guided Meditation With Zen Master Henry Shukman #634

Hey, guys. How are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far. My name is doctor Rangan Chatterjee, and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More. Meditation is an incredibly powerful tool for transforming our lives. But in the modern world, many people find it a challenging practice to start and maintain. So this March, I have decided to try and inspire more people to take up this life changing practice. Throughout the month, we're teaming up with Zen master, Henry Shookman, and his meditation app, The Way, to bring you our first ever meditation challenge. Now I've tried so many meditation apps over the years, but I've never come across one as effective as The Way. I've been using it most mornings for many months now, and it has really helped me feel calmer, relaxed, and more present. I love this app so much that I recently decided to invest in the company and join them in their mission to get more people meditating. As I believe, this will result in a calmer, happier, and more compassionate world. Meditation has been shown to have all kinds of benefits, reducing stress, improving focus, and over time has even been shown to result in positive structural changes in the brain. But, of course, you only get those benefits if you actually do it. So this March, why not join Henry and me and thousands of other meditators on a thirty day journey that has the potential to transform your life? All you have to do to take part in this free challenge is go to the wayapp.com forward slash live more. You'll get practical tips, exclusive content, and 30 free short meditation sessions to get you going. Committing to thirty consecutive days of meditation really does have the potential to create a lasting daily habit. I will also be joining in the challenge and using the Way app every day throughout the month. I very much hope that you decide to join me. And now to give you a flavor of what Henry's meditations are like, here's a beautiful meditation that he recorded exclusively for my podcast community. Welcome to another meditation with me, Henry Shookman. I'm so honored and grateful and humbled really to have this opportunity to share with you a practice that has meant so much to me, that has really been a life changer since I picked it up in my early to mid twenties. Once again, I want to try to convey to you that meditation is not just another thing you have to do. Don't think of it as another item on your to do list. It's really of a different order. Yes, there are many very positive, helpful things that we might have in our health and wellness regime. And surely meditation might be counted among them. But it's a little different from other things because what we're really doing here is coming back to who we are in a more …
