Light Watkins | What Meditation Feels Like

Light Watkins is a meditation teacher, transformational speaker, and best-selling author who has coached the likes of Rosario Dawson, Jonah Hill, and Meghan Markle. But what most people don’t know is that - these days - he has chosen to live nomadically. That’s right, all of Light’s belongings can fit into a carry-on bag and he bounces around where his spirit takes him.
Today, Jamie and Light discuss how his perspective of life came to be. From his upbringing in Alabama, familial ties with civil rights icons like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., and his calling to learn and teach mediation, Light’s story is one for the books.
If you’re curious to learn more about the healing effects of meditation, living a life untethered, and overall mental grounding, this episode is for you.
