You wake up anxious. Your mind races. The to-do list grows longer, and even when you sit to meditate, stillness feels impossible.

Sound familiar? You might not be meditating “wrong” — just not in the way your body truly needs.

In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Yirser Ra Hotep — a master of Kemetic meditation, Tai Chi, and Qigong — as he reveals how ancient wisdom from Egypt, China, and India offers a very different take on what meditation really is.

Together, they explore how movement, breath, posture, and awareness are seamlessly integrated into daily life across these traditions — and how that can help soothe your nervous system, anchor your awareness, and bring you back to your body.
