Spirituality vs Money, Tradition of Vedic Meditation, Dharma and Self Expression

The spotlight in this Ask Me Anything episode is on spiritual life…

Is spiritual life compatible with earning money? (Spoiler alert: the answer is a resounding yes).

Is the tradition of Vedic Meditation truly ancient? (Also yes).

And what’s the relationship between Dharma and self expression? (No spoiler alert for this one).

The underlying message in all of Thom’s answers in this episode, is the importance of Self referral. 

Too often we’re influenced by the thinking of others, whether they be those closest to us, or in the broader community, and this reduces our ability to both give and receive the fullest expression of life. 

By accessing the big S Self, through our twice-daily practice of Vedic Meditation, we can transcend the rules, the expectations and experiences of others and live an authentic, abundant and inspired life.
