353 — Why Caffeine Before Meditation Might Be the Secret to Clarity With Simon Cheng
Over his long career as a practitioner and therapist, Paul has taken such great care in honing and fine-tuning his daily practices that for him to consider changing them is pretty rare.
That is, until Simon Cheng, the founder and CEO of Pique Life, put a thought into Paul’s brain in their first podcast conversation more than five years ago about using black teas to support his early morning meditation practice.
Discover what Paul learned from Simon that changed his meditation practice for good and why having a daily practice can mean all the difference in feeling fear versus peace of mind this week on Spirit Gym.
