Shortcut to Bliss

What if you could turn even your most painful moments into a pathway to bliss? In this episode of The Gathering Room, I talk about the Hindu concept of satcitānanda—which means the joining of truth, consciousness, and bliss—and how we can drop into this state by letting go of resistance. I'll share a "formula" for how to do this that I learned from the zen monk and mathematician Shinzen Young, and I'll guide you through a meditation to help you take a shortcut to bliss right now.
