What if the problem isn’t your life—but the noise inside your mind? On Sacred Harmony, hosted by Shreya, this episode invites you into a deeply human conversation with Amitha Khema, a Buddhist monk and mindfulness teacher, exploring why meditation is less about escape and more about coming home to yourself.
