Today's Bite Size episode is sponsored by The Way, the only meditation app with a single long-term pathway. Now if you've tried other meditation apps before, I am certain that The Way will be the one that will finally help you develop a consistent practice. You see one of the best things about it is that you are not going to get overwhelmed with
different options. You simply open the app and do the next meditation, building up your practice step by step. After a few sessions you will feel as if you've got your own personal meditation teacher who of course is the wonderful Henry Schuchman who has appeared as a guest on this podcast on two separate occasions. Now I personally have been using this app for over six months now
one. I absolutely love it. In fact, I love it so much that I have invested in the company to join them in their mission to get more people meditating. For listeners of my podcast, The Way is offering 30 free days to establish your own meditation practice. All you have to do is go to thewayapp.com forward slash live more to get started.
