Welcome to episode 69 of The Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy and Meditation podcast.

Before we look into meditation techniques and philosophy, it can be beneficial to get an understanding of why we meditate at all.

In today’s episode, Brandt will be sharing the different reasons we might start a meditation practice through the birth of spiritual desire. Listen to this episode to orientate to this reasoning as a practitioner or a meditation teacher. 

This was a clip taken from our Meditation Mentor Certification Program.
