For the benefit of all sentient beings, we bring you After Awakening, a show about meditation & enlightenment. I'm your host Ryan J Burton. I interview experts and am a meditation coach. Here you'll find stories, lessons and advice from meditation teachers and spiritual masters. We'll cover all the territory, all the levels and facets of awakening from beginning to end. This show is for the major questions. What is enlightenment? What does it mean to awaken? and how does that inform our lives?
