Welcome to the Commune podcast.

My name is Jeff Krasno.

Every Saturday, I release a podcast episode that provides a guided wellness practice.

I feature a variety of different modalities, including meditation,

stoic contemplation, and breathwork. Now, sometimes I will be your guide, and increasingly I will

pepper in master teachers from the commune library, including Jack Cornfield, Sharon Salzburg,

David G, and Michael Beckwith, among others.

Of course, you can access the treasure trove of commune teachers and thousands of accompanying

lessons by subscribing to our course platform at OneCommune.com.

These weekly short guided praxis will hopefully provide you with a foundation to develop a regular practice.

And there's really every reason to do so.

Now, I've said this before, but it's worthy of some redundancy.

Cultivating a meditation practice can provide myriad benefits.

It can relieve anxiety and stress, assuage fear, and improve sleep.

It contributes to your holistic well-being, reducing inflammation, aiding digestion, and bolstering immunity.

However, while the benefits are multifarious, this practice should not be undertaken in pursuit

of achieving a whole list of personal goals. The primary purpose of meditation is to access the present

moment, and in doing so, the beneficial outcomes will become self-evident.

So in this way, the process is the product, so really try to enjoy it.

And as you sharpen your ability to pay attention moment to moment, you will notice how

this practice gradually begins to punctuate your

cotidian life.
