Daily Practices for a Greater Living with Julie Rader

Are you doing yoga or meditation daily? If not, this episode might convince you that it’s time to start practicing in order to make your dreams come true.

Julie Rader has been teaching yoga and meditation for over two decades. She founded Mukti Yoga School in 2004 which has certified hundreds of yoga teachers worldwide. As a teenager, Julie’s mother taught her the power of guided visualization and meditation which she has weaved into the fabric of every area of her life. Julie received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in the physiology of exercise and then went on to spend 33 days in silence without talking, reading, or writing. She continues to be a lifelong student of the mind, meditation, astrology, and yoga and she attributes her peaceful presence and success to her daily meditation practice.

In this episode, Julie and I talk about the effects of yoga, meditation, and visualization on our lives. Especially as actors, these practices can get us the roles we want and embody the characters we desire by incorporating them into our daily routines. We talked about the power of creating vision boards and we each gave examples from our lives where dreams became a reality because we just followed some simple practices that anyone can do.
