Includes a Taoist breathing meditation. Dr. Pedram Shojai joins us on DENtalks to share some real advice on slowing down and integrating our practice into the chaotic world around us. A Taoist monk, doctor of Oriental Medicine, founder of Well.org, and author of bestselling books The Urban Monk and The Art of Stopping Time, Pedram was faced with the decision between a life of isolation and meditation in the mountains, and one in which he was able to bring his practice back into the plight of modern society. We discuss the challenges of living in such a fast-paced Westernized culture, how to listen when life tells us to pull over before things escalate beyond repair, and how to truly bring your practice into everything from parenting to work to just being stuck in traffic. Stay tuned for Pedram’s Personal Practice, where he shares a special Taoist breathing meditation to tap into your center of light and intuition.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dentalks-powered-by-den-meditation7294/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
