Episode Details

Today  Neil McKinlay talks about meditation. Clarifying a few common  misunderstandings about this practice, he reminds us that meditation  simply involves ‘becoming familiar with’. Becoming familiar with our own  everyday lives - whatever these might present. In the process, we  reduce the stress and strain we experience, and bring a basic sense of  ease and awareness into the world.

Neil  is an embodied meditation teacher who has been practicing his entire  adult life. Reflecting his interest in how this work enriches and is  enriched by our everyday lives, he runs two online communities and hosts  the ‘Bringing Meditation to Life’ podcast - all of which can be  accessed at neilmckinlay.com. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia with his wife and daughter.
