Welcome to the Gathering Pod, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. I'm Martha Beck.

Welcome to the gathering room. I'm Martha Beck. How'd that go? Okay. Thank you guys for coming. It's wonderful to see you all here. I don't know where you are in the world. If you're in most of the United States, the COVID lockdowns are still kind of happening.

If you're in some other places like Melbourne, home of the gracious Badger, you guys are taking some serious steps.

I applaud you. And those of you who are in other countries, you're probably going, we will never

accept refugees from the United States. But you do it out of the goodness and love in your

hearts. Okay, I get that. So with that said, let me talk about today's subject, which is I modestly call it the secret to feeling better.

That's all. Because I've been doing, I've been re-recording all our instructional tapes for our

life coaching system, my Wayfinder life coaching system.

And one of the things that we've gone through over and over I've said, as I've done the

tapes is here's what we're here for.

We life coaches, we way find your life coaches.

We're here to make you feel better.

If your life is terrible, we make it better. If your life is amazing and fabulous terrible we make it better if your life is amazing and fabulous we make it

better it's always about could it be a little better i love um master coach sarah sidleman's book

how good are you willing to let it get i hope that's not the wrong title but it's something to

that effect and it's a really good book and you should all read it. Anyway, yeah, if you start living according to certain principles

of mind and behavior, then you start to get things start to get better and better and better.

And at a certain point, you think, does it really need to get any better? I mean, I'm all,

I'm already getting more than my share it nope it can get better and the key to it all is a very

small trick that i learned long ago when i first started meditating and i remember thinking

and i didn't quite know what to make of this at first, but over the years, I learned. Now, this was listening to a fabulous set of audio tapes called the Inner Art of Meditation by Jack Cornfield. That's Cornfield with a K. And other than that, it's just like any old cornfield that you'd go in to have a Stephen King horror book,

regular cornfield.
