Meditation with Media Mogul & Author Russell Simmons
Talking about his new book, "Success Through Stillness," media mogul and author Russell Simmons joins the family! Russell discusses the metaphysical ‘high’ he achieved at his first yoga class and explains how that feeling of freedom was the first step to changing his life. Now, 20 years later, Russell has become an expert meditator using the moments of stillness and tranquility to improve his productivity and creativity. Russell, whose hectic lifestyle has earned him the nickname "Uncle Rush," also explains the proven health benefits of meditating and how anyone at any age can benefit from daily meditation.
Russell Simmons' Tips on How to Start Meditating:
1. Find a comfortable seat.
2. Sit cross-legged on the floor or if that is too difficult, sit up straight in a chair.
3. Find your mantra (a good mass mantra is "rum").
4. Set your timer for 20 minutes so you don't have to look at the clock.
5. Close your eyes and just let your mind calm itself.
Russell’s Book " Success Through Stillness" is available now wherever books are sold.
