Meditation and the Buddhist Solution to Anxiety & Spiritual Evolution W/ Lodro Rinzler #347

The Life Stylist

Meditation has been a groundbreaking revelation that has anchored my being, diluted my neurosis, and helped me manifest tangible elements in the 3D: this podcast being one of them.

I’ve been a fan of Lodro Rinzler’s work in the meditation space since my stylist days, when I would seek sanctuary in his Mindful Meditation Studio in NYC, so it was a joy to connect over the mic and listen to him relay wisdom about the convoluted path to achieving higher consciousness.

He shares his first calling to meditate at the tender age of six, his experience as a meditation facilitator who is simultaneously committed to self-healing, and the spiritual destinations at which we can arrive when we commit to a consistent meditative practice.

For those more advanced in their awakening, we also discuss how not to get attached to spiritual breakthroughs and the realities of outgrowing a particular spiritual path or leader as we climb up the mountain to enlightenment.

• Finding enlightenment from within

55:24 — Appreciating Consciousness Without Attachment

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them?

Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities?

Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated?

EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to.

In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF.

By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

CACAO BLISS. Back in the day, I used to have to take about 50 ingredients to make an elixir or a smoothie. I had to mix them together, make a big mess, and it took up a bunch of space in the cabinet. But Cacao Bliss has changed the game. Now I have amazing ceremony-grade organic ingredients like raw cacao, turmeric, black pepper, MCT powder, cinnamon, monk fruit, coconut nectar, lucuma, mesquite, and Himalayan salt all in one. So this is the ultimate superfood elixir, but it really tastes like chocolate milk. It's just absolutely fantastic.

JUST THRIVE. I’ve been trying to fix my gut for years now. I’ve tried just about everything, and I have to say, most of the probiotics I’ve tried are a complete waste of time — with the exception of the Just Thrive Probiotic. It is the first and only 100% all-natural, spore-form, DNA verified and tested probiotic supplement clinically proven to help with leaky gut. Plus, it’s vegan vegan, non-GMO, Soy free, dairy free, sugar free, salt free, nut free and gluten free, so anyone can use it. You can use code ‘luke15’ for 15% off at justthrivehealth.com/luke.
