Dr. Trujillo’s Comments:

In both our conversation and in his book How to Meditate Without Even Trying, Peter Russell focuses on making meditation easier, more effective, and more enjoyable. We discussed the inevitable experience of thoughts intruding in our meditation, and that we can choose not to follow them while also avoiding self-created discontent. I appreciated learning that the root meaning of Samsara is aimless wandering, that process where we look outside ourselves for the contentment and wholeness that we already have access to within. I recommend this episode to those new to meditation, as well as to experienced meditators who will gain encouragement for their practice.
