Path to Peace What to Do If You Feel Burnt Out at Work?
Burnout is the result of self-sabotage in the moment at the expense of ourself in the future. We think if we just work a little harder, if we just push ourselves and stretch ourself a little more, that we'll eventually reach the success we want and have the happiness we need. In reality, we're sacrificing our mental and physical health that will only result in a major setback when our brain and body say, “Enough!”
Here I'll talk about a few ways we can work smarter, always stay centered and rested, and even get more done.

Path to Peace How to Deal with Childhood Trauma?
Learning to let go is a lot harder when it's letting go of childhood trauma. When we're young, experiences will shape how we see the world for the rest of our lives. It becomes deeply engrained and becomes that much harder to heal from. But there are ways to do it. It is possible to reach deep into our psyche and pull out those weeds of trauma and plant beautiful flowers of love, trust, and gratitude.
In this episode, I share how we can all start the healing process from trauma, how we can make peace with what happened, how we can be more present and how we can transform the deep-seeded conditioning of our minds.

Path to Peace How to Become Spiritual?
Today on the podcast I answer the question, “How can I become spiritual?” Before really answering this question, we have to talk about what the word “spiritual” even means. To every person it can mean something slightly different. In this episode I lay out what spirituality means to me and how we all have the potential to tap into our rich inner spirit of love, gratitude, peace and bliss.

Path to Peace Can ai Expand Our Consciousness?
The future is coming at us fast. If we look at the trend of where technology is headed, we can see robotics and software becoming smarter, faster, and smaller. In many ways, computers are smarter than humans, but a computer still can't design a computer better than humans can. They lack the creativity and the conscious awareness that humans have.
So, if the seemingly inevitable merger of humans and machines does take place, will ai be able to expand our consciousness? Is the merging good or bad? Will it make us more human, or less human? And ultimately, will it be a tool to further our spiritual journey or will it prevent spiritual progress? The answer may surprise you.

Path to Peace Shall I Meditate Before or After a Meal?
To eat or not to eat, that is the question. During my travels throughout Asia and India, every guru, monk, meditation instructor and meditator told me the same thing when it comes to eating before or after meditation.

While there is no wrong time or bad time to meditate, here are few pointers for getting the most out of your meditation and spiritual journey.

Path to Peace The Best Meditation for Calming Inner Voice
Some people have such a loud voice in their head, that they are actually unaware they have a voice in their head at all. It's gotten so noisy and constant, that we don't even have the awareness to hear it because we are completely lost in our thoughts. In those cases, only when a person sits down to meditate and they actually turn their attention inward, do they discover the presence of this unrelenting voice.
This voice is inside of us, and yet we cannot control it. It's like having an alien visitor living with us. And what do you do when you meet an alien visitor? You make peace with it. Your work together. And then eventually, you become best friends who only exist to help each other. In this episode, I'll share they key for turning that loud negative voice into your personal helper.

Path to Peace How to Fight Jealousy
Jealousy can be one of our most insidious emotions that can end lifelong relationships. Instead of feeling happy for others' success, we feel negative emotions for which we put up walls so as not to feel it, but really we're just closing ourselves in and blocking everyone else out.
We can't fight our subconscious emotions because they are a part of us. But, we can use higher self, our conscious awareness, to work with our negative feelings and transform them into positive ones. In this episode I'll explain how to do just that.

Path to Peace How to Meditate for Overthinking
Most of us have a voice in our head that constantly searches for something to obsess about. It scavenges and scavenges endlessly. There is just no seeming endpoint for this thought-chaser. No matter what happens, our mind will try to label, judge and analyze it forever and ever. Why won't our minds just do what they're told?!
This inner voice disrupts our inner peace and usually creates problems where none existed before. So how do we turn it off? How can use our minds more efficiently and more peaceful? And how can we stop our minds from fixating on negative things? I'll talk about that and more in today's podcast.

Why Your Employees Need Meditation More Than Companies’ Happy Hours
These days, employees are thinking not just about ways to let off steam. They’re thinking about ways to let go of their stress that won’t leave them hungover, tired, groggy and unhealthy. That’s why more and more employees are looking for healthy ways to improve their lives, not just their night. And it’s why employees need meditation more than company happy hours.
The Benefits of Corporate Meditation for Employees
When we let off stress in healthy ways, such as meditation, we are actually able to focus better. It increases productivity and our creativity. This makes work easier, which ends up making us less stressed about work in the first place.
When companies start meditation programs, employees’ lives can improve dramatically in every aspect. From better relationships to more gratitude, peace and joy. And as we all know, happy workers are better workers.
The Benefits of Corporate Meditation for Companies
Corporate meditation is a win-win for businesses and workers alike. Yes, productivity goes up and turnover rates go down. But that’s just the start.
It’s been proven that costly mistakes go down, people work together better, and fewer HR incidents occur. This is because when people are more mindful, they are more conscientious of their actions and their words. This is more important today than ever before.
The Problem with Company Happy Hours
While some companies are looking for ways to entice workers back into the office, happy hour and free drinks is often their first go-to idea. The problem is, the happiness from happy hours doesn’t last beyond the hour.
The next morning and day can be grueling. Some people can do regretful things during happy hour. And some people who don’t drink can feel left out and isolated. Everyone, however, can meditate.
When drinking occurs the night before, this actually leads to less productivity and more costly mistakes. Absenteeism goes up and it encourages a sense of work being a stressful place worth escaping from through vice, rather than incorporating as part of a life well lived.
Why Companies’ Real Happy Hour is an Employee Meditation Class
Bringing a skilled meditation teacher into your company creates the same kinds of employee bonding as happy hour, but on a much deeper level. From introverts to extroverts, from drinkers to nondrinkers, everyone can bond over this beautiful practice that can improve everyone’s lives.
No matter anyone’s religious views, cultural or racial backgrounds, the practice of meditation can increase the inner joy and peace of every employee so that everything else they do, whether it’s work, family or fun, becomes improved as well.
When companies start corporate meditation programs, employees become excited to go to work. They become eternally grateful that their company cares about their well-being, not just their liquor consumption.
In the days since the pandemic began, workers have taken a closer look at their lives. They don’t want to just feel good now. They want to build a life they can feel good about. Meditation helps them do just that and it’s why employees will always need meditation more than companies’ happy hours
