As most of you know, I have long been an evangelist for a daily meditative practice if for no other reason than to help people on their journey of self-discovery. There’s power in the silence.  It trains us to be present, to hear our own voice, and to acknowledge who we truly are.

In today’s episode, Rick Hamlin joins me for a rich conversation about how meditation leads to greater compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance.  We explore how silence helps us develop the muscle of attention that gives us the capacity to stand back and observe ourselves so we can recognize our repeating thought patterns.

We cover the benefits of meditation and then offer a few recommendations on how to begin your meditation journey.
