If someone came and told us there is a war for power and survival inside our minds, that we all have superconscious wisdom, that is, in a certain way, kept hostage and censured by stronger, or louder rather, parts of our brain, we will probably not believe it. However, that is what our guest, Leonard Perlmutter, came to tell us today, and he said something even more interesting, that he would prefer we won't believe anything he said and go to find out by ourselves if it is true.


Leonard is the Founder and Director of The American Meditation Institute (AMI). He is the author of several books, including "Transformation", "The heart and science of Yoga", and his latest "Your Conscience. The key to unlock limitless wisdom and creativity and solve all life's challenges", which we talk about today. Leonard has studied Yoga Science since 1975 and is a direct disciple of mind/body medicine pioneer Swami Rama of the Himalayas.


In this episode, Leonard described how our mind works with astonishing simplicity. He explained how we make the decisions that impact our lives and decide our fate and what we can do to have more control over it. We talked about the four voices in our mind, the louder and pushy ones, how they operate, and why it is so hard to ignore them. Leonard also taught simple yet effective techniques to incorporate meditation into our lives and much more.


Tune in to Episode 114 to explore how our mind operates, and discover who we listen to when we make our choices.
