Third Dreamer Meditation

Sitting with pain and suffering in myself and others is the practice right now. Empathy that exists outside of answers and fixes is all I have to offer. I talk about this in this episode and also return to the original format of having a guided meditation after the talking part. Take care everyone - David

We’ve had a few people reach out about how Coronavirus is effecting our travels, so I thought it was a good time to do a life updates episode and talk about that. I also talk about my three favorite app games and how those three each offer a different approach towards dealing with the situations of challenges of life. This conversely explains how we’re making the choices we make, so you get an idea not just of the choices but also the thinking behind the choices. This way of looking at the thought process may be something useful in your life too.
