Interview: Meditation, Healing and the Arts

This is a summary of a 4-part series interview by the Self Awareness Society Singapore in November 2020. We spoke about how meditation has helped me in healing, acting and writing over the last 20 years.

I participated in the Self Awareness Centre's 7-Day Transformation Journey (7DTJ) programme in the year 2002 and have benefited from it immensely. Therefore I am sharing this here, so that you too may benefit from it. The 7DTJ is a time-tested and money-back guarantee programme. Over 40,000 attendees have benefited from the programme over the last 26 years.

This is the playlist:

PART 1:

- What is your aspiration? Is it very different from what you are doing every day? - How does meditation help you in acting? - What is success to you? - When you quit, that means that your passion is not strong enough? - Street fighting analogy to fearlessness.
