Biet Simkin is a Wanderlust mentor. Catch her and other luminaries at a Wanderlust Festival<\/a> this summer.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0One thing that I’ve found is that my soul is completely cool all the time.\u00a0\u00bb \u2013 Biet Simkin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Biet Simkin is the founder of Center of the Cyclone<\/a>, a series of meditation techniques which she has anthologized. In this Wanderlust Speakeasy, she shares how she went from a life of sex, drugs, and rock and roll<\/a> to one of meditation. Those things, she explains,\u00a0are<\/em> a form of meditation\u2014they are a way to annihilate part of the self, the negative voice that we hear in our minds.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t last, and has bad side effects.<\/p>\n

So where do we go? What do we do? How<\/em> can we quiet that negative voice?<\/p>\n

For Biet,\u00a0the answer lies in meditation. She discusses her journey to the practice, why it worked for her, and outlines a form of meditation called divided attention<\/a>. This type of meditation is a method where one doesn’t need a pillow or cushion. We can do it wherever we live, or even in a bar. We don’t need to go to a cave or leave our friends.<\/p>\n

We can live in our busy, sometimes crazy world.<\/p>\n

And through meditation, we can learn how to stop listening to the negative voice in our minds. We can enter into conversation with our higher selves<\/a> and learn how to tell the difference between the two. Our higher self always wants the best for us and has a positive, uplifting voice. That’s the one we have to learn to listen to, while blocking out the lower, negative voice<\/a>.<\/p>\n
