Tweetable quote from Tom

“When we sit in stillness, we find that deeper level of connection.”

Summary

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Tom Cronin, a former finance professional turned meditation advocate and founder of the Stillness Project. Join us as we delve into the concept of stillness and how it serves as a powerful tool for reconnecting with our true selves amidst the distractions of modern life. Tom explained the seven states of consciousness from the Vedic worldview, emphasizing that most people only experience three states: thinking, deep sleep, and dreaming. Through meditation, particularly Transcendental Meditation, individuals can access deeper states of consciousness, leading to greater awareness and connection.
