Kris Krohn here with REITV
And today, we're talking mountain meditation.
We're talking about the most effective way for
you to get yourself grounded to live
your life as powerfully as possible.
I love mentoring and I love having noble
experiences that teach me more about the
world. Tt's why i love the world travel
and several years ago I had an
opportunity to hire these monks from the
Himalayas to come here to the states
and do a workshop with me. And I gathered
some of the people I know and we spent a
few days in their concept of meditation.
It was such a maddening state for me.
Their concept of meditation, because
there's so many different types, was this
idea of sitting, emptying, the brain and
focusing on sounds.
And some of the
people with us absolutely loved it.
I'm not here to tell you what meditation is
good or bad, because bottom line is you
and I are different and different things
will resonate. But there is a meditation
that I love and I call it an
"active meditation"
And it is where I'm actually
directing my thoughts to inspiration.
My active meditation happens during my
power hour in the morning and it
actually happens for the most part
during my active exercise that's why I
call it an active meditation. So I could
be outdoors running or I could be on the
treadmill but it's where I'm
predominantly taking time to myself and
what I'm doing is I'm emptying my
thoughts of the busy thoughts and I'm
intentionally putting an idea in that
fertile ground to see where it will be
guided to see where it will be led to
see where it will grow.
so for example,
in my business, I might have a concern with
an employee and I'm looking for a
solution and so as I'm actively working
out I'll get myself in a trance-like
state where I'll keep doing my physical
exercise find my metronome, find my beat,
empty my thoughts, and then I'm going to
drop in that finding a solution for my
employee. And what is that? ice and best
outcome look like.
Maybe I'm struggling
with the child and I clear that...
Clear that area and then I drop in that seed.
what can I do to help my daughter Lisel?
and so for me and active meditation is
where I'm actually going to create an
intention of something I want to have
inspirationally elaborated upon. And that
meditation for me at one of the things
that I love the most about active
meditation and why it resonates, is
because even when i'm at work or whether
i'm driving somewhere or talking to
someone, I'm actually training
myself to get into a grounded it of
enough state
that I can continue planting those ideas
so I might be having a meeting with you
one-on-one and you might be saying, "Chris
I'm trying to figure out how to explode
my wealth. you know can you help me
create a game plan?"
and in my mind
grounding breathing deeply connected to
you and your purpose and being pulling
all the weeds emptying the space
eliminating worries and doubts and
anxieties and this isn't needs to do
that since putting it all away putting
all of my to do's away. Just planning
this idea, "how do I serve this person the
best?"
for me too very practical because
it means that I could be meditating
throughout the day so I actually don't
even call it an active meditation. For me,
it's just become a being. It's become a
grounded state of Who I am as a human
being and how I show up and while I'm
not always in this ground of state I get
to drop in and out of it throughout the
day and I get the benefit of what it is
to just breathe and relax and be present
and at peace with everything that is
focused on a singular intention designed
to take my life to the next level and
reveal what I do not yet comprehend
Life is too short to live without
intentionality.
And, meditation is simply
an amazing way for you to get grounded
and connected to make sure you're living
your life as intentional as you possibly
can. So that we're not taking any bit of
it for granted because you got this one
life to live. The life that you got in
front of you right now! So make the most
of it. Live limitless, and make the
commitment to get yourself grounded
everyday, to wake up to who you are.
