It's been a while since I have recorded a meditation strictly for Zen Commuter.  But the time has come.  The 16 minute meditation I created is to help practitioners connect to universal consciousness.  The recording starts with breath work, then transitions to body awareness and ultimately with a visualization.  Please head out to www.patreon.com/zencommuter to avail yourself to the MP3 file.  Enjoy.

As Rudy puts it…

My journey of self-exploration accelerated in my mid-thirties, a point in life where I questioned the deeper meaning of existence. At that juncture, I sensed a desire for more profound experiences, realizing that accumulating possessions and following the same patterns lacked depth and meaning. In this quest, I delved into the philosophies of Eastern traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen, Tao, and more, alongside exploring Western philosophy, science, and the arts. Engaging in extensive reading and embracing various mindfulness practices, I gradually uncovered a profound approach to living—a deeper connection with the universe that changed my perception of life.

Martin is “a man on the mend”, a recovered alcoholic with a debauched and materially-immersed past life of spilt milk under burnt bridges. Moments from suicide, his Beagle talked him out of it. This rock-bottom moment launched a phenomenal journey of self healing and personal transformation. "If you told me I had five minutes left to live, I'd spend that time basking in gratitude for the incredible gift of life. I want others to have that choice too.” - Martin O’Toole Through his experiences of the “pointless pursuance of success”, Martin uncovered the alchemy of everlasting happiness. Understanding the depths of depression and contrasting heights of delight, his compulsion to share his story has resulted in a podcast and brand new book, How To Die Happy.

In waking life and in our meditative experiences, we can experience difficult emotions.

It’s often difficult for seasoned meditators to keep a consistent practice when they have been at it for a significant amount of time, maybe even years. One way to maintain consistency is to change things up. Today I talk about the ways to deepen a meditation practice.
