Jonny on… Exploring Presence, Potential, and Inner Work: When we are fully present we will never experience consequence, only opportunity and adventure. Today Jonny explores and expands on some of the core ideas raised by qualified western psychology practitioner, eastern chi gong mast, buddhist and meditation specialist and guest this Thursday Chris Dorje Walker. Big questions explored in today's episode: - What is the concept of presence, and how does it relate to living in the present moment? - What are the benefits of being present, and how does it relate to inner work and personal growth? - How does our past shape our beliefs and conclusions, and how does this impact our ability to be present? - Why do we sometimes struggle to make positive changes, even when we know what we need to do? - How can we use our memory to create new possibilities, rather than being limited by our past experiences?
