Master Jason Campbell, prolific musician, Zen Master and Gray Wolf
Jason shares his personal journey into meditation, which started at a young age through deep listening to music and sound.
Key points:
Meditation as a means to quiet the incessant stream of thinking and activate the observer within. There are various techniques to achieve this, such as deep listening, watching thoughts, and breath work. Never let anyone tell you there is only one way (to do anything)
“Mindfulness” is the wrong word to use. We don’t need our mind more full, instead a better word would be "awareness." Meditation is to empty the mind rather than fill it with more thoughts.
What about the proliferation of online gurus and the popularity of breath work? Jason suggests they might be a good thing! The important thing is to take action and engage in some form of meditation or breath work - it doesn’t matter who got you interested, just that you get started.
Breath work has many benefits including its ability to regulate the nervous system, expel cellular waste, and provide energy. We must be deliberate and intentional breath work to experience its full benefits.
The integration of breath work into family life is explored and Jason shares playful ways to involve children in breath work, such as incorporating it into daily activities or engaging in breath-holding exercises.
What about the relationship between technology and breath work? Technology has obvious benefits, but we need to disconnect from technology and listen to silence, nature, and one's own body to truly experience the benefits of breath work.
There is powering in shifting your perspective from linear time to nonlinear time. Focus on the present moment and the eternal "I am" rather than dwelling on the past or future. “It’s always been you, you’ve always been here and it’s always been now”
The importance of embracing impermanence and understanding the interconnectedness of birth and death was discussed. There cannot be triumph without tragedy, so to experience one we must experience the other.
The meeting concluded with a rapid-fire question round, where the speaker shared insights on leadership, stress relief, and personal growth.
Action Items:
Incorporate breath work into their daily lives and explore different techniques.
Practice mindfulness and focus on being present in the moment.
Disconnect from technology and spend time in nature to enhance their breath work practice.
