i've recently fell for meditation as well. since just siting alone and being aware of my own thoughts was hard enough, i started with guided meditation. what a difference! for the first time in my life being quiet and playing attention to my breathing was pleasurable. i started to be more aware of my emotional and psychological patterns, and it's really helping me to learn how to code.

thanks for bringing this up, i'll definitely read your guide and your other articles. :)

Yes it definitely helps to have guidance as you learn! And it's incredible how such a simple act can contain so much pleasure. Noticing your psychological patterns is solid gold - there's no way you can start to make changes unless you know where you are currently at!

I'd love to hear what you think of the guide, feel free to email any time!
