All right. I got a new meditation technique for you. It's a very simple, very effective meditation technique. It's somewhat counterintuitive and it builds upon a previous

episode that I released about satisfaction.

The title of that episode is The Root Solution to People Pleasing and Loneliness. So a lot of people pleasing and loneliness.

So a lot of people like that episode,

and some people even asked after that episode,

like, how do I embody that?

How do I practice just being satisfied alone by myself not needing any kind of external

validation or stimulation for my source of happiness.

So this meditation is really a companion to that

episode. You can think of this as a part two. I wanted to do this episode

separately because this is going to be hands on and it's not going to be a bunch of theory here.

We're going to get into actually doing it. It's going to be short of I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet.

So, but just to set us up here for the practice,

the point of this meditation is to take back your control of that reward mechanism that we talked about in that episode.

So usually for your happiness, you're relying upon

rewards from somebody else, somebody loving you,

or having some sort of external material conditions go your way

whether it's sex money or some material possession that you want to acquire or other people giving you praise things like that.

And so what we want to do is we want to develop a practice of just literally sitting and being without doing anything and just basking,

remember that idea of basking in the present moment and just being deeply satisfied with it.

And that's it. It's literally that simple.

But of course the trick is that you have to practice it
