In a world that constantly encourages us to seek happiness through achievement, self-improvement, and external success, it's easy to overlook the one place where lasting peace has always existed. In this conversation, Agi welcomes back inner journey guide Chess Edwards to explore why true peace isn't a fleeting mental state, but the very essence of who we are. Together, they uncover practical insights for recognising your true nature, navigating the restless mind, and living from a place of inner stillness, no matter what life brings.
By listening to this episode, you'll discover:
• Why lasting inner peace is not something you achieve, but something you awaken to beyond the thinking mind.
• Practical ways to work with meditation, awareness, and self-inquiry without getting discouraged by a busy mind.
• How to recognise common ego traps and deepen your spiritual practice.
Press play now to discover how reconnecting with your true nature can transform the way you experience every moment of your life.
