Mind Over Matter
What if the mind isn’t something to control—but something to understand? On Mind Over Matter, hosted by Saima, Rev. Amitha Khema shares a grounded, honest perspective on meditation beyond surface-level calm. This episode is for anyone who feels restless, overwhelmed, or “bad” at meditation. You’ll discover why discomfort is not failure, how awareness rewires your experience, and how small, consistent practice can quietly transform your inner world and relationships. About the Guest: Rev. Amitha Khema is a Buddhist monk and mindfulness teacher with over 15 years of experience guiding people toward clarity, compassion, and inner peace through practical meditation.
