Today, Jacob is sharing what he thinks every person starting a meditation practice should know. We're very fortunate to have so many meditations available to us online, but this can lead to a lot of confusion and frustration when none of the teachings are specifically made for where we are at. By addressing some questions such as - Why meditate? What is the goal and what am I aiming for? How do I know if I'm making progress or doing it right? and What effect might this have on my daily life? - we are setting ourselves up for a deep and committed practice that can start us on a profound and revelatory journey. Whether you are experienced or a newcomer, gaining clarity in this way will help set you on a course of awakening and embodying an attitude of love in daily living.
In part 2, we'll be discussing just what that awakening might look like, how our world views and perceptions of reality might change, and just what exactly we will be freeing ourselves from in the process. Thanks for tuning in and happy sitting!

p.s. This episode is best listened to on low volume for best sound quality. I've put a note in with the audio engineer and this should be fixed for our next episode :)
