The Awakened Mind - Delson Armstrong | The FitMind Podcast

Delson Armstrong is a rare individual with an awakened mind. He is a meditation teacher and author of A Mind Without Craving.
He trained for extended periods in the Himalayas and mastered several systems of yoga, including the ten levels of samadhi (meditative states of absorption). Delson has recently collaborated with leading neuroscience research labs interested in studying his brain.
On this episode, we discuss how to conquer a craving mind, cessation and its benefits, the unique way he experiences his inner world, and the studies being done on his brain.
Check out the Muse headband demonstration to see his mind in action.

This interview is so inspiring for me to hear! His description of cessation and the rebooting of the mind... I'm so happy and inspired to see that there are people who have really experienced awakening and freedom

Almost sounds permanent but there’s nothing permanent in this realm. No more feeding becoming-no arising or passing. It’s not permanent it’s just extinguished. Part of why it’s hard to explain.
