A Simple Path to Well-BeingGuided Meditation for Developing TrustThe purpose of this guided meditation is for you to experience trust and to clearly see how craving pulls us out of the stream of experience. It is recommended that you listen to the previous podcast (or YouTube video) called 'Craving Is The Source Of Suffering And Trust Is The Antidote' to better understand what is going on in this meditation.2021-07-0220 min
A Simple Path to Well-BeingCraving Is The Source Of Suffering And Trust Is The AntidoteOur life is an everchanging stream of experiences. When we attempt to resist this stream, it causes us to suffer. This resistance is caused by craving. We can learn to just trust the stream of experiences, and when we do this, we are filled with peace and joy. This is not something for us to believe - it is something we need to see for ourselves.If you are interested in doing some coaching with me, you can find out more here.Visit my website at: paulgarrigan.com My YouTube channel is here.2021-06-2913 min

Acceptance can become a type of prison when what we are accepting is the limitations placed on us by the thinking-mind.

This experience of a separate 'doer' is what I mean by the mind. As we learn to trust the body to do what needs to be done, living starts to become effortless. 2021-03-1111 min
