- Talking points: zen, meditation, mindfulness, psychedelics, mindset
I'm one of those people who hated sitting down and meditating, even after a few years of trying to practice. It's now something I do nearly every day, and it grounds me in ways I can't explain. This is a pretty common story, especially among men I've worked with, so I brought Henry Shukman back on the show to dig into what novice meditators get wrong, what some good starter methods are, and really: what IS thought, anyway?
Watch for a great look at the start and "end" goal of mindfulness, and Henry's infectious enthusiasm for this powerful practice.
(00:01:54)- Do men and women have different struggles with meditation?
(00:07:09) - Why do meditation and mindfulness draw more women than men?
(00:17:35) - What are the initial resistance points when people start a meditation practice?
(00:25:27) - What IS thinking?
(00:33:09) - What do you when you become present to how much chatter the mind has?
(00:38:21) - The power of allowing, and what it actually means
(00:52:20) - What is “original nature”?
(00:59:24) - Do psychedelics offer the same glimpse into reality as meditation does?
(01:08:05) - Henry’s upcoming app

Wow, didn't expect to see this collab! Henry is so great, highly recommend his book "One Blade of Grass".
Such a great book!
Henry is really spot on. I have never heard of Henry's work but I have been doing IFS therapy together with vipassana meditation (according to John Vervaeke) and I have seen massive synergies and insights arising from them and feeding back into therapy. IFS is in many ways a meditative practice. It's really incredibly fascinating how close experiential therapies and meditation are closely related.
Regarding his feminism though, he's utterly confused.
When people began meditation during the Bronze Age, they were a physical people that had to sit and be still/present. Would walking meditation be good for a world where we are still/desk body? I am trying to heal from some horrible things and recently found how meditation really does help. Just trying to get a good list of options going, as a newbie.
Great, deep conversation. Thanks guys!
Henry is the best❤
