Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast. This is episode number 166. I am Brooke McCallory. Thank you very much for

joining me. And I am again flying solo today and I will be again next week. Mostly because I have

brought in a friend of mine, Kevin Jenks, from Centred Meditation, to walk us through

what I'm sure Kevin will offer to you much more articulately

other than to say Kevin's going to give you a little introduction, a brief introduction

into this idea of our emotions and the impact that they have.

And then again, he's going to finish off today's episode with a brief guided meditation.

So enjoy.
