Lauri is an advisor, mentor, and artist, helping people regain clarity and inner peace through sound, meditation, and nature immersion. In 2015, he quit his job to travel for 2 years and study meditation, sound healing, and mindfulness. Since then, he has performed at events and released recordings that have been streamed over 1 million times.\nIn this episode, Lauri shares with us his journey from suffering to seeking to experiencing inner stillness—where we can be at peace with our own unfolding, and where the answers to our many questions naturally emerge without our interference.\nWe explore the distinction between experiencing emotions and identifying with them, the considerable importance of asking questions—particularly ones we can’t presently answer—and the great benefits of resting in stillness and what can emerge from the silence.\nWhether it is an awareness of what is, an alignment with our true nature, letting go of obsessions with upgrading ourselves, a connection with nature and its abundance, or its impact on our creativity and how we live our lives—there is so much to take from this episode, especially for those of us toiling with our self-development and spiritual paths, suspecting we are fundamentally missing something. The stillness and silence that Lauri points to may offer considerable help.\nSubscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for clips and shorts.\nContact me at mark@whatisagood.life to book a free consultation (30 minutes) for one-on-one coaching programs or to hear about corporate workshops I am offering around this question.\nRunning Order:\n02:44 How to find inner stillness\n07:54 Action still emerges from stillness and silence\n11:22 From seeking to stillness\n15:04 Challenging habits to let go of\n20:34 Where true liberation exists\n25:24 The importance of asking questions\n31:44...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
