Welcome to Meditative Nest, the incubator for Meditativeness. 
My name is Raakesh Blokhra, I am a singer-songwriter, musician, software engineer, and entrepreneur. In my spiritual journey, meditation has really helped me become aware of the purpose of life, and insights, and gain control over my mind, and body. 

I am a Vipassana meditator and a Reiki Master, and I have completed Sadhguru's Inner Engineering program. With over 2 decades of meditation experience, I often come across people who show interest in my spiritual journey, and also tell me about the challenges they face while trying to get started with their meditation.

Through this podcast, I intend to provide the fundamental information that will help anyone get started without any effort. I have helped a few people by sharing my knowledge, guiding them with their first steps, and giving them a good understanding of the process. Once I realized the value of my guidance, I decided to start this podcast for beginners who want to get started with meditation and then if they wish, they can go ahead on their own journey for advanced meditation programs that are offered by many organizations out there. 

I am sure you will find some valuable information in these videos, please try to listen to these undistracted, so you can absorb the information being shared.

New episodes will be added on every Tuesday at 11:11AM EST.
