| 0:14.0 | Welcome to episode 15 of synchronicity. Welcome back or welcome for the first time. I don't know. I really can't know if you're listening for the first time or you've listened before. But I'm glad you're here. Thank you. I give a very special guest today, Sharon Salzberg. She is part of Mind Pod Network, our podcast network here, and one of my favorite teachers, |
