| 0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Boundless Life podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | My big burning desire to bring this to people is because I myself see it as one of the most powerful tools to get to know yourself. |
| 0:14.0 | And I've had the burning desire to use the practice of meditation, of using breathwork, of being in nature, of pausing my thoughts for the |
| 0:24.4 | benefit of seeing myself. Welcome to the boundless life with me, your host, Ben Greenfield. |
