Episode 22 - Solo episode about why I value meditation and mindfulness

Good morning, we just had a 4.1 earthquake out here in the desert. and I was meditating. A reminder that we are not on solid ground, the ground can be pulled literally underneath us.

Since we're moving, it is too difficult logistically for me to do interviews, so I will attempt to create a couple of episodes that are different from the usual. And then next week after that, I'll share an episode with a guided meditation from myself, and one that my wife, Kristina made for Youtube. After that we'll resume interviews.

I believe there are a number of reasons we start meditating, in this episode I just want to look at one angle. Here is one of the reasons I started meditating, being less reckless.

So one of the things I was thinking to bring up on this episode, is by bringing up something that moved me towards a meditation/mindfulness practice as a teen. I already explored some of the reasons I wanted to learn to meditate in the introduction episode, so for this episode I'll just explore another piece of this. As you may have noticed by listening to this podcast so far, the reasons people give, why they started a meditation practice are wide ranging, and some will admit that they don't know for sure, or can pinpoint exactly what or how it all got started for them.
