Living Life on Your Terms
One way to look at meditation is as a meeting with your own energy, where you withdraw the energy that flows out all day to people, your phone, food and work, and bring it back to yourself.
Dandapani describes the meditation he teaches as a meeting with your energy. He points out how much energy flows out of you every day to the people who demand it, to your phone, to food, to self-care and to work, and asks when you last withdrew that energy and sat down with it.
What this talk covers
- One way to look at a meditation practice is as having a meeting with your energy.
