How to Meditate When Your Mind Won’t Switch Off - Brainz Podcast with Morgan O. Smith
Morgan O. Smith is a meditation facilitator, spiritual teacher, author and creator of Yinnergy Meditation. A Gemini Award winner and former stand-up comic, he now combines sound technology with contemplative practice and leads Bodhi Mental Care & Wellness, a charity offering free meditation and neurofeedback training to youth and families in underserved communities.
In this episode, Morgan explores why so many people feel like they’re meditating wrong, what to do when your mind wanders and how he uses binaural beats in his practice. He shares how he got started and recalls the moment he realised his practice was carrying over into everyday life, when he found himself remarkably calm after driving into a ditch during a snowstorm.
From watching a thought pass without following it to finding a session length you can stick with, Morgan offers practical ways to get started. He also explains how noticing your reactions can give you more choice in how you respond, whether you’re stuck in traffic or halfway through a difficult conversation.
