    In this lesson, we explore the deep, transformative power of mindfulness and meditation beyond routine practices. We discuss how integrating mindfulness into every aspect of our lives can extend the benefits beyond the meditation cushion, influencing our health, relationships, and overall well-being.

    What You'll Learn:

    1. The addictive nature of cognition and the power of mindfulness prompts to help us live in the present.
    2. The commercial success of meditation apps and the misconception of meditation as a mental "vitamin."
    3. Insights from Sam Harris on the true connection with meditation practices, and the pivotal experiences from his 10-day meditation retreat.
    4. The role of continuous mindfulness throughout the day, as highlighted by Joseph Goldstein, and the importance of framing our daily meditation within the context of our entire day.
    5. Practical advice for integrating mindfulness into daily life, including a discussion on the benefits of consistent, mindful living.

Profile Image for Brad

Brilliant. Transformational.

I stumbled onto this by accident, having scoured the internet, insight timer, and finally discovering it on Spotify looking for a guided Premeditatio Malorum. Normally, I wish meditation guides would not introduce their meditation, because when you come back to it the next day, it’s a bit repetitive. With Premeditatio Malorum, however, it’s vital that they be introduced and reintroduced every time. Jon does an excellent job of balancing the ratio of instructional preparation and guiding you through powerful imagery. Hats off to Jon—this is amazing work and utterly transformational. It has made me grateful beyond anything I could have imagined.
