If you already have a calm mind is it worth meditating? A Happy Hour Conversation with Alex Mill

This week's show is with Alex Mill, a Zen Life Coach, facilitator, leadership trainer and public speaker. He spent nearly 14 years training in a Zen monastery and is now offering his years of experience to transform people's lives and businesses through mindfulness, meditation and compassionate self-awareness practices. In this week's show Alex agreed to me throwing questions at him about all things meditation. This is something that I'm on a real personal journey with at the moment - I used to meditate years ago in the hope of calming my mind, and now when I have a calm mind much of the time, I'm interested in discovering whether I can still benefit from meditation and if so, how. I'm inviting you along for the ride with me. What you'll learn from this episode: The benefits of meditation are typically that you're more in the present, more focused, less lost in thought, more able to direct your attention. I loved what Alex said: we are either here or not here. Meditation gives the regular practice of noticing that your thoughts are not you and giving you access to the space of insights, peace and connection. Take time for yourself to remove the barriers to meditating: just take 5 minutes to sit and focus on the breath.
