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/
