How To Feel Calmer, Less Stressed & More Present with Henry Shukman #632

Meditation gives us this incredible opportunity to be aware that there is actually a contentment, a peace, a fulfillment, a quiet joy even that's actually already hidden in us, potentially, waiting to be discovered. It's a homecoming. It's you coming home to your true place in the universe. And I mean, in a way, what could be more important? Hey guys, how are you doing?

Hope you're having a good week so far. My name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More. In a world of constant noise, stimulation and busyness, Meditation is often framed as another self-improvement tool, something to calm us down, make us more productive, or fix what feels broken.

But this week's returning guest believes that this way of thinking completely misses the point. Henry Schuckman is an authorized Zen master and director of the Mountain Cloud Zen Center. in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Over the years, Henry has taught meditation at organizations including Google, Harvard Business School, and the Esselin Institute, and he's also the co-founder of the Way Meditation app. Henry first appeared on my podcast a few months ago on episode 590 when we had the most beautiful and uplifting conversation that I would highly encourage you to listen to.
