Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring

the world closer together. This is the commune podcast where each week we explore the ideas and

practices that help us live this healthy, connected, and purpose-filled life. So if you are hunkered down at home as you should be,

this may be a good time to check out our course platform at one commune.com, where you'll find

programs from Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Russell Brand, Wim Hof, Brendan Breschard,

Adrian Mischler, and many other brilliant personal development and

wellness luminaries. Our courses span yoga, meditation, spiritual development, functional medicine,

recovery, and social impact. Essentially, everything you need to be holistically well. Just go to

one commune.com. And right now, given the gravity of the global

pandemic, one might instinctually think that practices like meditation and like yoga are dispensable,

but nothing could be less true. If you are one of these superheroes on the front line, a health care worker,

medical professional, a food provider, a scientist or biologist, a government worker, you will be

stressed to your limits psychologically and physically. Even 30 seconds of deep breathing and grounding

can help you stay centered and focused. We need you and we support you.

So if you are someone on the front lines that could benefit from a meditation course right

there on your phone, just email me at Jeff K at Onecommun.com.

immune system was compromised. In mid-March, the shivers came back, and I got a sore throat, a little cough,

and a profound fatigue. I would try to work for a couple hours, do this podcast, and then
