Interview With a Zen Master — What Julian Daizan Skinner Taught Me About Overwhelm, Meditation and Awakening

Not every day you get to sit down with your Zen teacher and ask him everything.

This is one of my most personal episodes — and one of my favourites. Julian Daizan Skinner is a Zen Master, and before I even get to ask my questions he takes the conversation somewhere extraordinary. Into awakening, into Reido — spontaneous yoga — and into some of my most transformative personal experiences on my journey out of overwhelm.

Then I get to ask the good stuff.

• what to do if you just can't meditate — the answer will surprise you
• Daizan's top tip for anyone stuck in the fog of overwhelm
• the extraordinarily transformative practice of Reido — spontaneous yoga
• what awakening actually means in everyday life
• the dream of a tiny abandoned temple on a mountain in Japan

For anyone who suspects there's something deeper available — beyond the tools and the strategies and the productivity hacks. There is.

You can find out more about Daizan and his work at www.zenways.org

Follow him on Facebook, youtube and Instagram

And I highly recommend his Practical Zen books which can be purchased from Zenways.org or Amazon.
