As a meditation teacher and host of the global ZEN commuter Meditation Podcast Thom has taught meditation to thousands of people wanting to live a calmer, fuller life. He began a meditation practice back in 1980, when he was eighteen years old, and considers it to be the most impactful skill learned in his life. " Through the years, and up to now, I have kept my meditation practice alive, practicing over 5,000 hours. In between those times, I have interviewed noted meditation thought leaders on my podcast, ZEN commuter, and studied extensively on a variety of meditation practices. I have devoted my life to helping people becoming calmer and more purposeful through mindfulness practice." Support Thom on Patreon
Listen to the song I wrote after being inspired by my conversation with Thom called Master of Mind and all the other Podsongs.
Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:
ARE YOU THE MASTER OF YOUR MIND?
(CAPO 1st)
VERSE
G
You can build your body and hone yourself an incredible physique
Perform fantastic physical feats that must be seen to be believed
BRIDGE
C G
But can you breathe and only breathe
C G
Yes can you breathe and only breathe
VERSE
Or buy an education that's the envy of all
Become an economic mastermind know the workings of the world
BRIDGE
CHORUS
Em G
What good is such a powerful force
Em G
If you can't still your mind and hold it on a course
C D
Are you the master of your mind?
VERSE
You could study the languages learn Sanskrit and Greek
Understand the ancient texts and find long-forgotten techniques
BRIDGE + CHORUS
VERSE
Or become a leader of the military with power over men
Put a country to the sword or show mercy upon them
BRIDGE + CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE
Or use your life as a politician and be an honest one at that
Make the world a better place or at least a part of it
