Last episode Yvette shared her meditation journey and Ericka made the commitment to start. This episode Julie Stewart, mediation teacher from Kadampa Meditation Center in New York City is the special guest. Julie shares how society’s definition of success and happiness leads most people to being perpetually unhappy, the basics of meditation, how to start and how integrating mediation into your daily habit can and will change your life. “Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to stillness from limited identity to unlimited space. – Sri Ravi Shankar”
During this episode meditation teach, Julie Stewart debunks the myths about meditation and how life's goal is happiness not success because success doesn't equate to happiness. How the definition of happiness is not defined by who you know, what you have or what you're doing. Happiness isn't about things, it’s about inner peace and being true to your authentic self. Also, Yvette continues to share her personal meditation experience and how between stimulus and response she’s found. And in that space she has the power to choose her response in the response lies her growth and her freedom.
