Khalsa shares why sometimes stopping is the best way to start, and how the power of pause expands our capacity to come more fully alive. Khalsa explains how her daily “Last Breath Practice” is inspired by the daily meditative practice of two American giants - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s daily “personal commitment” and Congressman John Lewis’ daily “executive session with myself.” Listeners are encouraged to establish their own evening meditation practice - a “Last Breath Practice”, reflecting on their higher meaning and greater purpose. Khalsa also pays tribute to bell hooks as a guide to radically imagining what is possible for humanity.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Visit Our New </strong><a href=\"https://thelastbreathpodcast.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Web-home</strong></a><strong> or Download Our Free App for </strong><a href=\"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lighthouse.thelastbreathpodcast.house\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Android</strong></a><strong> or </strong><a href=\"https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thelastbreathpractice/id1610065628\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Apple </strong></a></p><p>If you are interested in shifting out of fatigue and into fulfillment, let us support you by becoming a member. <a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQW29c1BqZYnWryWmhO1o688BdpAZT4hchT54ts5Du9T4TyQ/viewform\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here and subscribe</a> to learn how to reconnect to your peace, power and purpose so you can navigate whatever life is bringing your way.
