Customer Reviews
Life changing (literally)
My meditation practice started with the Headspace and 10% Happier apps, which I used for three years before I started wanting something deeper and more varied. Then I discovered the Dharma Seed podcast, which is a free resource for talks and guided meditations from some of the most famous meditation centres in the world. I suppose it was the next step up from the apps, but I have now unsubscribed from them and regularly meditate to this instead. Thank you for making this resource available to the general public.
Pseudo-science
I only listened to a few minutes, but that was all I needed to hear the host talking about how the feminised brain has way more connections, sorry dude this simply isn’t the case, there is no conclusive evidence to distinguish masculine or feminine brains. We only make new neural pathways by learning new things, not from being a metrosexual latté drinking dude who is emotionally open with his friends. Absolute piffle!
