In this conversational YouTube video, Christie Junge and a co‑host explore how meditation can sharpen a business leader’s mindset. They walk through five practical approaches: (1) using guided‑meditation apps such as Calm and Insight Timer to build focus and reduce stress; (2) incorporating journaling after sessions to process insights and gain clarity; (3) drawing on Thích Nhất Hạnh’s teachings, especially The Miracle of Mindfulness, as a literary foundation for mindful awareness; (4) practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM), a mantra‑based technique that the host describes from personal experience; and (5) employing breath‑focused, group, and YouTube‑guided meditations to foster presence and collective energy. Throughout the dialogue, the speakers share personal anecdotes, recommend resources, and link each practice to concrete business benefits like improved decision‑making, emotional regulation, creativity, and resilience.

meditation and mindfulness, talking about apps like Calm and Insight Timer are great for guided and timed meditations. Journaling, like you said, great way to process thoughts and offer clarity. Thích Nhất Hạnh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, has many books with beautiful meditations, and I can totally recommend The Miracle of Mindfulness, a great introduction to that. But you yourself, you've done some—
TM, which is Transcendental Meditation.
Yeah, can you talk about that?
Yeah, I went through the training. My wife and I both did it. My conclusion, I'm not too familiar with other forms of meditation, but it's just a variant. I think any form of meditation is good. What I liked about TM is it's mantra-based, rephrase. So it's just you say the same words in your mind over and over again. But other forms of meditation could be just pay attention to your breathing, the center eye. All those things are just trying to give your focus to one area so that other things can flow out without being considered. It's the reduction of active thought. It's not easy to meditate. I was gonna say, yeah, group meditation ironically has been easier for me. There's— that means there's usually someone guiding you through the process. I also use YouTube. I'll log in, say, you know, pull up a meditation, and they walk you through it. So that's powerful.
