This is a series of podcasts and guided meditations on spiritual awakening, meditative practice and spiritual principles as they relate to mental and physical health and emotional wellbeing. In the first series we looked at how to navigate problems arising during and post spiritual awakening, in series two we are examining how to utilize meditation and spiritual practice to improve mental health and emotional wellbeing. The host has recovered from anxiety, depression and obesity using these methods and now seeks to share them so that they may be of benefit to others.

Overthinking is a very common problem that can cause immense stress and frustration, even for those on the spiritual path and well established in meditative practice. There are many practices designed to help one calm and quieten the mind, in this episode I discuss some of my favourite pointings for techniques and principles on quietening the mind. I also discuss the possibility of changing or softening deeply held beliefs regarding thought and feelings as a beginning stage of becoming free from thinking.

Further in, I discuss the possibility of eradicating thought altogether, it is claimed that this is indeed possible and I suggest a practice to make this happen. After all, if you withdraw awareness from thought, what happens to the thought?
