Bearing The How With Kole Lyndon Lee

On this episode of Bearing the How, the philosophical-based podcast for modern-day freethinkers, I chatted with Hunter Michael, a licensed Therapist, all about meditation. We go deep into the benefits you can see if you're actually disciplined with it and chat about Hunter's experience at an intense 11 day Vipassana meditation retreat. We also hit on something we always like to discuss: "seeing reality as it" - which is something that consistent meditation can certainly help with.Hunter's info:@iamhuntmasterflexhuntermichaeltherapy@gmail.com**********Subscribe to my YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/bearingthehow?sub_confirmation=1**********Podcast:iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bearing-the-how-with-kole-lyndon-lee/id1454595686?mt=2Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/77awHCbBSuy6JCQ68zh0xgGoogle: https://tinyurl.com/y54s237xWebsite: https://www.bearingthehow.com/**********Connect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bearingthehow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bearingthehow/

In this episode of Bearing the How, the podcast inspired Nietzsche that's all about finding your "why" and bearing your "how," I chatted with a good friend, Corrie Purser, who has an amazing story about how she single-handedly cured her hair loss, Alopecia, by going out on a limb, doing her own research, and discovering how changing her diet could drastically change her life. It was an amazing story that really inspired me to take what I eat much more seriously.
