In this episode Michael will look at what beliefs we might have about  Meditation and how those beliefs and subsequent expectations can hinder us in setting up a sustainable practice.  He'll review what it's like to realistically setup a practice and some of the challenges we may encounter.  Tied to that he'll investigate how Meditation has been marketed to us and how that may cloud our view of our capabilities and reality.  

Welcome to my premiere episode.  Today I'll introduce myself, tell you a little about my background and what I hope to provide with this podcast.  During the pandemic we were all changed in so many ways.  Our routines and patterns were disrupted like never before.  As we emerge, it can be a tremendous time for making changes and growth, especially in regards to our spiritual paths. Next we'll jump to today's topic "Well Being isn't Doing Well".  Here I'll discuss how we look at the idea of 'Well Being', a buzzword that gained emphasis during the pandemic, and what expectations we may bring to these activities. These expectations may actually hinder us if we don't take time to really examine them closely.
