Subscriber Update #1 - Feb 2017

Added 2017-02-07 00:57:53 +0000 UTC

Dear Friends,

As our first group of subscribers, we owe you a huge THANK YOU! We’re brand new on Patreon, and there are a lot of moving parts, so please bear with us as we make the transition and work out the kinks.

Patreon is an opportunity for our listeners to support what we do directly, via a monthly subscription. We plan to use this support to connect with our community, and to evolve our podcast. This e-letter is a chance to do that.

Our mission is to give you an extraordinary meditation experience. Through this podcast, we intend to share some of the incredible gifts that we have experienced in our lives.

To Do List

Our main priority is to get your Patreon rewards up and running. The Patreon site is quirky tech-wise, and we were not able to test it before launching. Without getting into boring details, it’s a lot more manual and less automated than we expected.

We appreciate you, and we hope you feel appreciated. If you don’t receive a subscriber reward, or if you feel that your reward was not what you expected, please message us on Patreon and let us know!

We’re excited to set up the Thank You page on our web site, and to watch it grow each month.
Some of you have been asking about the Patreon RSS feed. It doesn’t work as expected, and we were not able to test it before the launch. We are in contact with Patreon support, and will have some answers and solutions soon.

Call to Action

Meditation is an act of going within — to find our center, our stillness, our peace. It can be a challenge to take this feeling with us when we enter the activity of the “real world”. Each month we will offer you a call to action, an opportunity to share our peace, and bring a bit of extra kindness to the world.

February is the month of Love. It is an opportunity to appreciate people in our lives, and to show love and compassion with people outside our circle. Love is an action. So, let’s take action.

Every day this month, find a way show love to someone you care about, or to a stranger. Here are some examples:

Call a friend or family member, tell them how much you appreciate them.
Give a secret gift. For example: buy a cup of coffee for a stranger, pay for someone’s lunch or groceries, pay for the toll of a car behind you, or pay someone’s bus or subway fare.
Smile or acknowledge a person’s presence. If possible, give a compliment.

Or, come up with your own ideas. However you choose to show love, do it without expecting to be repaid. The Universe will return to us what we give.
