In the latest FitMind Podcast, Liam McClintock sits down with Josh to explore how meditation can create more lasting changes in the mind, not just temporary moments of calm.
They get into predictive processing and the way the brain constructs our experience of reality, why we’re naturally biased toward worry and threat, and how meta-awareness can help us step out of habitual thoughts and narratives.
The conversation also covers the practices Liam is most focused on now, including releasing, metta, the 4Rs, and jhana, along with the difference between temporary “fit states” and deeper “fit traits.” They also discuss internally generated bliss, mental diet, forgiveness, and what deeper meditation practice can look like in everyday life.

We’d love to hear what stood out to you most from the episode, or whether any of these practices have been especially helpful in your own meditation.
