Preview KEW Episode 83: Awareness, Attention, and Meditation
What are your thoughts on meditation? Do you think it’s some hokey mumbo-jumbo? Do you think it’s too hard to find time but that there may be something to it? Are you a regular cushion-sitter? As a human, you’re likely to fall in there somewhere. And if you are reading,…
FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 3: Gaming the System

FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 2: Individuals and Community
