| 0:00.0 | Yeah, everybody. Welcome to Muslim Intelligence Podcast. Another special Q&A episode coming at you, answering your questions. These questions have come in off of our Facebook group, the Muslim Intelligence Facebook group, which I would love to see you guys in. Thank you very much for being here. I realize that your time is valuable. I don't want to waste it, so I want to get right to |
| 0:25.0 | it answering some of your questions. So the theme of this week is actually answer some questions |
| 0:29.2 | that are kind of specific about me. So people have asked questions, hey, like Ben, what's your meditation |
| 0:34.4 | practice look like? So I'm going to dive right into it and give you guys a little bit insight into what I do every day. |
| 0:40.0 | So probably for the last, certainly since the beginning of COVID. |
| 0:43.7 | Probably since January, I've been doing the waking up app from Sam Harris. |
| 0:48.2 | And that's a 20 minute daily meditation. |
| 0:51.1 | And then I'll usually do another 20 to 40 minutes after that. So Sam is incredible |
| 0:57.0 | at leading the mindfulness process. So just having you understand what you should be focusing on |
| 1:05.4 | and what it should feel like and kind of directing your consciousness. And you know, I think it's a |

| 1:11.1 | who really wants to start to understand how to bring mindfulness not only into that 20 minutes, |
| 1:16.1 | but any part of the day. So I think it's a very powerful meditation that I absolutely love. |
| 1:21.6 | And honestly, I feel great about doing it every day. And this is kind of a weird share that I'll |
| 1:25.8 | give with you guys. Like one of the things I love about meditation is that it makes me really uncomfortable. |
| 1:29.7 | I actually intentionally make it really uncomfortable. |
| 1:31.5 | I don't know why, but I have some psychological attachment to being uncomfortable and actually |
| 1:35.7 | realizing that that's beneficial for me and I'm getting stronger and I have the mental |
| 1:40.6 | fortitude to sit through it. |
| 1:42.7 | So that's pretty awesome. |
| 1:45.2 | Other questions. |
| 1:46.2 | Breathing practice. |
