    67. *Raw and Unfiltered* - The Magic of Chanting with Kimberly Braun

    In this episode, we totally break with tradition and have shared the raw, unfiltered version with you. When I went back to edit, there was just too much amazing background  conversation that I really wanted to share. Kimberly Braun had been a guest previously. As a TED X speaker, mystic, teacher, author, former nun, minister, and so much more, we had a heart expanding conversation on episode #66 that ended up talking about her experience with chanting. I've been curious about chanting for a while and really wanted to go deeper with this, so asked her to come back on the show and share some chants with us. As we prepared, we ended up talking in beautiful detail  about what the chants mean, the history and origin of each chant and the best way to experience them.  So not only will you get the opportunity to experience several different kind of chants, but you'll have some further insight into what feelings they may evoke and what the intentions were behind them. What a beautiful gift for Kimberly to come back and share this with us. I really leaned in to the feelings and experience and loved every minute. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
