Summary

We will learn: How consciousness, not your brain, is the primary creator of your reality. The secret to meditation's deep rest and wakeful alertness. How transcendental meditation can transform your brain functions, improve your physiological age, and even alter your DNA. Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Damn, why does my brain keep screwing me over?" Maybe you're stuck in an anxiety spiral, or you can't kick that habit you've been trying to ditch for years. Trust me, I've been there, and it's a special kind of hell. Here's a wild thought: What if everything we think we know about our brains is completely backwards? Most people have the wrong expectations of meditation… and actually meditation is kind of the antithesis of meditation. And transcendental meditation helps you get to that state. Non judgment. Non attachment. No expectations. Letting go. And sometimes, even moments of bliss. Our guest is Dr. Tony Nader, one of the godfathers of transcendental meditation and basically an expert in consciousness. And I know I know… consciousness doesn’t mean a whole lot unless you’re deep into spirituality. But what about tapping into infinite creativity, higher potential, more energy, and just carrying bliss throughout your day? This episode is going to make you rethink everything you thought you knew about your mind.

0:26.1	decade now. Actually, oh my gosh, time flies. Over two decades now? Like 23 years.
0:32.0	Thanks to my high school cross country coach Walter Gorski. I wonder where that guy is.
0:37.6	Well, it didn't really click back then, and it didn't click for a long time. I was expecting to get to this place of emptiness, no thought,
0:46.4	pure bliss. So when I failed at the impossible over and over and over,
0:51.5	it was kind of hard to be motivated to come back to it.

1:14.7	Ariel Garden. She's the founder of the Muse Meditation Headband. Well she sent me
1:19.6	one and it was the first time that I could actually track my progress beyond just feeling like I was failing.
1:25.0	And it basically showed me my brain waves so I could see if I was actually making progress or just sitting there like a potato.
1:32.0	Well, I decided to go deeper and I signed up for something that had been on my bucket list for a while.
1:38.0	Transcendental meditation and holy crap, it was like someone hit the reset button on my life, or my meditation habit at least.
