In this week’s episode of The Happy Psychic, Jeff Patterson joins me to discuss the concept of yielding and its application in the meditative arts, particularly through practices like Tai Chi and Qi Gong. He breaks down yielding into three categories: physical, mental, and emotional, explaining how each can enhance personal growth and awareness. Patterson emphasizes the importance of integrating meditation into daily life, understanding its core fundamentals, and the necessity of consistency and guidance in practice. He shares insights on how meditation can help manage stress, improve mental clarity, and foster emotional intelligence, ultimately leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

As a special gift to you as a listener, Jeff Is giving you a free copy of his book as well as a $1 trial of his online programme.
