Spiritual teacher and mindfulness guru Dayanand shares gems of wisdom gleaned from his path to enlightenment in part 2 of the conversation. For those seeking spiritual growth, this unconventional monk encourages intentional practices that cultivate stillness, especially in cultures that value speed and distraction. Practicing stillness is like a muscle. It takes time and dedication to bring about lasting change. When we bring ourselves fully into each present moment, we come face to face with the unconditional and abundant love that lives within us all.
Breath work is one of the best ways to practice stillness. By connecting the mind, heart, and body through regular meditation, we are able to become the observer of our lives. When we can observe our thoughts and feelings without attachment, we allow the energy to flow in whichever direction it chooses. Letting go of our need for control, negative emotions can easily dissolve instead of getting stuck in our overidentification with them. This brings a deep sense of freedom for those who can practice finding stasis amidst an ever-changing landscape of internal and external influences.
