Writer and meditation teacher, Henry Shukman, joins Raghu to discuss his forthcoming book, Original Love, and how love is the true foundation of our life.

In this episode of Mindrolling, Henry and Raghu journey through:

Henry’s background, travels, and witnessing joy among those without materialistic riches
Recognizing how we are a part of everything in the universe
How meditation helped Henry stop limping through life
Transcendental meditation and being religious about our practice
Acknowledging our suppressed emotions and working through them with the help of therapy
Henry’s time as a trombonist in London calypso bands
Taking on an altruistic perspective to improve your life
How meditation does so much more than mitigate stress
The early Buddhist view of mindfulness
Interrupting our constant mental commentary by focusing on bodily sensations
The experiential reality of unity, emptiness, and boundlessness
Breaking open our hearts through any religion or experience
Tapping into unconditional love for ourselves and others
