It's almost time for episode 2 of True Peace in a Pod, so make sure to join us live for the premiere this Wednesday October 23rd at 9pm Bangkok time (more times and link to premiere listed below)! Episode 1 generated a lot of excitement as people felt prepared with clear know-how and newfound inspiration to start or deepen their daily practice. For episode 2, we discuss Gail's journey of incorporating meditation more deeply into her daily life and how that has shifted her, we share a new tip about meditation before sitting for another 10 minute guided session, and then we dive into a discussion and Q&A surrounding the topic of transformation and how to incorporate genuine change into your life before ending with some homework for everyone to practice for this coming month.

Our first episode currently has over 35,000 views across our channels and platforms, so we are really looking forward to continuing to build this community of spiritual friends with episode 2. Make sure to tune in live this Wednesday, say hello in the chat, and join many others around the globe for another meditation. We hope to see you then!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new guided meditation app, Simply Still! 🧘‍♂️✨

After countless requests, we got to work and spent the past 6 months creating the first version of *Simply Still,* which is now available to download for iOS and Android lnkd.in/gRcxFHjy and can be used on desktop lnkd.in/gvBPdTk8 as well! Specifically designed for our students in the various organizations that we support across the entertainment, tech, education, criminal justice, mental health, and sports industries, this app consists of a well organized library of simple guided meditations between 1 - 15 minutes broken up into categories focused on helping you release heavy emotions, wake up fresh, fall asleep easily, get grounded during the day, and much more. The app also includes a daily meditation and wisdom quote feature so that each day provides you with a fresh dose of stillness and inspiration.

Our mission is simple—make meditation accessible and easy to build into your everyday life even if you only have one minute to spare. We find that starting small and catering to the needs of the user is what leads to sustainable transformation and a habit that actually sticks in their lives. So it is truly a joyful moment that we release this into the world for everyone to access for free and for our students to use in their organizations and beyond.

We invite you to download, use it for yourself, share it with friends, family, or even within your organization. May this resource bring you peace, clarity, and happiness. 🌿

Feel the power of stillness. Start your meditation journey with Simply Still.

We are excited to announce that the premiere episode of our new podcast "True Peace in a Pod" will be airing live on YouTube on September 25, 2024 Bangkok (Thailand) - UTC+7: 9:00 PM! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJzdj...) Each episode of this monthly collaborative podcast between Venerable Michael, Gail McNeil, and I will provide meditation tips, a guided meditation, healing conversation about topics of interest, and easy actionable steps to integrate this practical wisdom into your life. We hope that this structure coupled with the new long-form conversation format that we are experimenting with will provide great value for those seeking self transformation.

Gail (@FiftySister), a fellow content creator who helps women over 50 with health and well being, has been on her own beautiful journey of transformation and has found the practical wisdom we have shared very helpful over the years. Her perspective adds a depth, lightness, and unique relatability to the discussion and creates a dynamic between the three of us that invites viewers to walk the journey alongside us as a supportive community of spiritual friends. Our first episode is about the fundamentals of meditation and includes an exciting new resource announcement at the end!

We hope you’ll tune in live for the premiere this and each following month, drop us a line in the chat about where you’re tuning in from, and join in with our audience from around the world as we meditate together for the first time as a global community. We are excited to enter into this new space and continue to deepen the value we provide to your spiritual journeys. See you online!
