My meditation coaching calls have been picking up considerably and though there haven’t been any unmet expectations as far as I’m aware of yet, it probably won’t hurt to let you know what to expect and not expect during a call. 🙂 Meditation coaching to me isn’t what most other teachers do.

Basically, Meditation Without Religion The meditation I teach here at Jhana8 and our Jhana Meditation Coaching is non-denominational.
