Vedic Worldview

A Conversation with Mark Krassner

Thom Knoles speaks with Expectful founder and CEO Mark Krassner about meditation as a tool to empower mothers through pregnancy and beyond, the role that meditation can play in fertility, prenatal development and the birthing process, and how meditation can benefit child-rearing for parent and child alike.

Produced by Eric Cahan

Thom Knoles discusses the mechanics of Self-reliance, how it is embedded inside ourselves, how true Self-sufficiency is not about isolation but about being one of the few who lead the many, and how to take responsibility for our own experience instead of waiting for others to behave better. To live fully, we take possession of what we actually are – and what we are is the Universe living inside a human body.

Thom Knoles discusses Truth as that which does not change, how it can be detected in all fields of life, and how, by allowing change to form our sense of identity, we succumb to suggestibility. Vedic Meditation takes our awareness from the field of ever-change into an experience of that which is beyond change, and reveals to us the truth of our own identity, as an implicit statement of pure knowingness.
