Hello, friends. My name is Thomas Mconki. This is season two of Mindfulness Plus. I've been waiting to say that for a while.

So we've been away for a little over a year. We were on a roll back through last summer. And

mindfulness plus ended up going independent.

We had some professional and artistic disagreements about what the show should be.

And so we negotiated a way to bring this podcast Mindfulness Plus under our non-profit umbrella, which is Lower Lights, School of Wisdom.

You don't need to worry about Lower Lights if you don't know about it. That is our parent nonprofit.

For our purposes here, we are Mindfulness Plus, and I'm really excited to be back here producing a new season back

where I am in my new home underneath my stairwell in quite a nice home studio if I do say so

myself much thanks to my wife for helping build this so here we. We were not able to migrate our beautiful audience

over with us to this new podcast. So if you knew about mindfulness plus before and you're listening

now, let your friends know that we're back, tell them to subscribe, they can get on iTunes, Stitcher.

Anywhere you find and download podcasts will be there.

And we would love to be back in community with you through this podcast.

Let's see.

Any other announcements I didn't catch.

If you're new, Mindfulness Plus is a podcast about

working with your attention to change your life for the better. That's simple. Every episode,

I do a bite-sized lesson on some aspect of meditative practice, the Dharma, as it's referred to in Buddhism,

followed by an actual practice, a guided meditation, where you get to try it out for yourself,

see if it works, make modifications as you need to, to accommodate your practice.

So, let's do this.

Today's show, we're recording, this is the week of July 4th.
