Sit with discomfort with John Robins

The Music & Meditation Podcast

Available for over a year

Izzy and John Robins share how guided meditation can help us sit with uncomfortable emotions and experiences. John is a comedian, author and podcaster who explains his unique perspective on how meditation can help us acknowledge discomfort rather than immediately trying to escape it. The music that soundtracks John's insightful meditation was composed by Vivek Haria and recorded by the BBC Singers exclusively for this episode. If you’re brand new to meditation or you've tried it before, this series is the perfect place to pick it up from. Music heard in this episode: Bizet: Intermezzo from Carmen Vivek Haria: Ma Chopin: Nocturne No 8 in D flat Op 27
