Most people imagine meditation to be something done in a serene location while sitting on a pillow. However, regular mindful meditation is a common habit among top CEOs and executives and it can be a useful tool in gaining the focus necessary to achieve your goals. Join Hal Elrod and special guest Julianna Raye as they discuss the benefits of mindfulness.

Starting as a mindfulness practitioner nineteen years ago, Julianna has exponentially increased awareness of the merits of mindful meditation. While most people are familiar with meditation, mindfulness is not as easy to define. To help clarify the core concepts behind mindful meditation, Julianna outlines the three key aspects of mindfulness (11:40):

1. Concentration power
2. Sensory clarity
3. Equanimity

Whether you are a beginner, advanced, or you’ve never meditated before, you can absolutely get value from Julianna. Take a few minutes out of your day and practice mindful meditation to reach a state of clarity and relaxation (24:00). Open the window to mindfulness and develop the tools to deconstruct your life experiences and gain clarity.

Many ambitious people fall into the trap of getting their fulfillment from their achievements. When you remove your need for progress, you can clear your mind to make better decisions. Recognizing that your fulfillment does not have to be dependent on any particular goal can allow you to be more in control of your inner world.

Much like going to the gym, you may not notice results right away. But after establishing a habit of mindful meditation, you will not believe the accelerated growth in your inner and outer world. Life is not about the journey; it’s about the destination. Be truly present to the journey through mindful meditation.
