What's the first thing you think of when I say calm the mind? I mean, after all, that's what

this podcast is even named for, calm it down to calm down the mind. But how, you may ask,

how do I calm the mind? How do I stop the noise and the constant clutter?

Well, that is what we're going to do today. And believe it or not, it's easier than you think

and not nearly as scary as you can imagine. Also, quick side note, speaking of calming the mind, if you are in London,

or thereabout May 4th, 2022, I will be performing, musically, at Queen Elizabeth Hall in South Bank

Center. But even more importantly, I will be leading a guided meditation and breathing session

before the concert begins. I am super excited about this. So come experience the guided meditation

and I'm going to show you some breathing techniques that you can use during the concert

that will only heighten the experience of how you listen and appreciate music.

It's really fascinating.

You can grab tickets and find out more at calm it downpodcast.com.

And that's May 4th in London.

Also, June 14th in Utrecht, Netherlands, and June 16th in

Hamburg, Germany, as I will also be doing the meditation and performance in those dates

and others as well. But going back to how do we calm the storm, I do hope to see you, by the way.

And it's something we never talked about growing up.

So, I don't know, I'm not really sure how I feel about it.

I hear you loud and clear, which is why I'm going to walk you through this right now.

Are you ready? I'm excited. Let's have some fun. I'm Chad Lawson, and let's comment down in three, two,
