Is there more than one self? No self? Multiple selves? Sometimes it can get confusing when meditating and observing our thoughts and feelings. Is there an all pervading consciousness that is driving a vehicle of meat and bones? This is an insightful episode where NY-based meditation teacher Janusz Welin talks about the multiple selves model and how we navigate all those seeming 'parts' of ourselves into one, coherent person. If we do, we become happier and healthier. Janusz works together with Shinzen Young regularly and mentors others in the Unified Mindfulness system, working with groups and individuals teaching Unified Mindfulness and modern Theravadan Buddhism.
The 15 foundational guided meditations Janusz talked about can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/czgw9x7syodypt4/AAARrhX9-L7_SbCWe8kgzOcGa?dl=0

He educates people on the science of energy related to our functioning. Simply said, he helps people create a positive difference in their lives through his guitar play and voice. Music helps people deal with loss, grief, anger, pain and much more. It helps people achieve a better and deeper sleep and can change someone's state of mind from negative to positive. We also talk about music in a way of transporting energy, as a vessel,where intention carries through frequencies and melodies, and impacts our daily lives. What are you really listening to? Let's dive into it.
