Welcome to the Ziggler show.

I'm your host Kevin Miller.

Today we talk with meditation guru, literally, Johnny Powellard.

Johnny is renowned for bringing meditation mainstream via his organization an app, One Giant Mind.

If you recall in show 667 Michael Hyatt referenced using the One Giant Mind app as part of his daily spiritual

habits.

And honestly more than half of all of our guests on the Ziegler show are testing to using meditation as a primary part of their daily habits and routines.

And while meditation often has these spiritual undertones to it, what you'll hear is it's ultimately brain training. An example, if you're

familiar with the sport of biathlon that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting,

after vigorously skiing for a distance, the athlete must then stop and calm themselves in order to shoot a very small target.

Well, in our lives, we tend to go, go, go, and then struggle to hit the small targets, the important

targets of success that we desire.

I think it's a great analogy.

Well, Johnny uses meditation to help us daily calm ourselves in order to be present

and fully useful and able as we target our most valuable goals.

It's not rest so much as it is fuel.

And Johnny states that most of us are prisoners of ourselves, of our own minds.

We never stop to gain control of and over our thoughts, anxieties, worries, and never ending

duties and roles.
