Episode 9: Mindfulness To Manage Your Manic Monkey Mind

<p>The cliche’ that happiness is an inside job is true. Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “wherever you go, there you are.” The foundational step to a happier, more fulfilling life is self-awareness. And 95% of us will quickly self-report that we are highly self-aware. In truth, it’s about 12% of us. One of the most powerful ways to increase self-awareness is meditation. It allows us to turn inwards and explore the inner landscape to gain greater awareness of our thoughts, feelings, motivations and values. It enables you to become the captain of your own destiny, so that you are in control rather than typical mindless negative habits.

He came to it because all the things society says lead to happiness (i.e., the bullshit story we are all fed from youth), didn’t. Chasing outcome after outcome left him feeling empty and burnt out. He sought a better way to live life.<br /><br /></p><p>After exploring many forms of meditation, he settled on what he found to be the most effective method of getting to the root of our mind’s conditioned reactivity. His book, <a href="https://www.cirak.com/be-you-book/">Be You – The Journey of Self-Realization</a>, lays the foundation for his courses and teachings. He has studied with and learned from many of the luminaries of our time, including Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Brian Weiss, Joseph Campbell, A Course in Miracles, and many others.<br /><br /></p><p>If you like what you've heard at The Evolved Caveman podcast, support us by subscribing, leaving reviews on Apple podcasts.
