'Guardians of Being' by Eckhart Tolle

https://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Being-Spiritual-Teachings-Dogs/dp/160868119X

Welcome to Distinctly Well, a new podcast that explores the meaning of being well. Have you asked yourself: How do you get to the nature of something? How do you really learn to understand and really gain new concepts?

That was what it was like for me in learning about starting a business later in life providing salt therapy to a variety of businesses including Wellness Centers, Spa's, Hotel and Resorts and dedicated Salt Therapy Centers. From that we do is educate and bring about awareness. 

Wellness and wellbeing, a lot of conversations and things, but what are those as a distinction? What does it mean to age well? What comes up for you? Well, what if we were diving into a dialogue to really understand that or other modalities like red light, a lot of technology out there in a lot of different pieces of equipment and experiences? What really is working? How best to set it up?
