  <title>Conversations with Depth Practitioners:  Stephen Josephs</title>
  <description>How has your meditation practice shifted and changed since you first took it up? &amp;amp;nbsp; Please join this conversation with Stephen Josephs, who shares how his mediation has evolved over 60 years of daily practice. &amp;amp;nbsp; As one of the leaders in the Kundalini Yoga tradition at it’s peak in the west, Stephen was a devoted practitioner in what he calls the ‘fire practices,’ willful and powerful practices that can dramatically change one’s state. &amp;amp;nbsp; But after many years of dedicated effort, the fire started to go out. His practice evolved into what he calls the ‘water practices’ - techniques and attentional strategies that are more about dissolving the sense of a separate self. &amp;amp;nbsp; In this conversation he shares some of the essential elements of the water practices and we explore that gnarly question: What it is that is actually dissolving? &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; You’ll come away with some key insights from a depth practitioner and a taste of how the dissolving practices might be of benefit to you. &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; With over 60 years of daily meditation practice, Stephen Josephs, Ed.D., brings a wealth of wisdom to his work. His expertise spans a diverse array of mind-body systems—including yoga, tai chi, and qigong—as well as specialized training in NLP, psychodrama, and body-centered psychotherapy. This breadth of experience fosters an open-hearted approach that helps students quickly realize the benefits of mindfulness. For the past 40 years, Stephen has focused on leadership development, integrating meditation as a core pillar for executive growth. He is also the co-author of Leadership Agility, a definitive study on how leaders mature and expand their capacity to lead. &amp;amp;nbsp; For more information and to reach out to&amp;amp;nbsp; Stephen:&amp;amp;nbsp; https://www.stephenjosephs.com/ &amp;amp;nbsp; Teachers and Resources: Connierae Andreas and Core Transformation: &amp;amp;nbsp; https://conniraeandreas.com/ Dr. Les Fehmi and Open Focus:&amp;amp;nbsp; https://openfocus.com/home/ Bruce Frantzis&amp;amp;nbsp; https://www.energyarts.com/about/ </description>
