You can’t buy inner peace, no matter how much money or success you pile up.
Yung Pueblo, an author who has meditated two hours every day for more than a decade and has finished a 60 day silent retreat, sat down with Lewis to talk about what inner peace feels like day to day. For him, it means having enough space in your mind to feel tension without letting it run your actions.
Meditation got tested first in his relationship. He and his wife Sarah spent six years in what he calls a hurricane of blame. They were on a break when he sat his first 10 day retreat, and two weeks later he proposed with the tiny ring his dad had once given his mom.
You’ll hear why the lightning fast reaction you think is the real you is your past self defending itself, and why slowing down gives you a pause button. His book Journey: The Year That Changes Everything keeps coming back to that practice, along with lining up your values with your intuition.
The next time you’re about to snap at someone you love, you might catch it a beat sooner and let it pass.
