I haven’t been able to download this broadcast to my mp3
Can you please get back to me with more detail? Have you been able to download other episodes of SRR? For example, #224? Or are you new to the site? Please provide as much detail as possible and I’ll try to help.
Best,
David
It’s amazing how meditation influences the brain. I immediateley started to cultivate meditation in my daily life. I also was thinking about my kids. If they started meditation quite early they could profit throughout their lives. But I am not sure how they really like it.
Hey David,
I can’t seem to download this podcast from within iTunes. I have been able to download other related ones like #10 and #182. Hope it can be fixed.
Thanks a lot, take care,

Hey Rohan,
I’m not sure what the problem is. It plays for me in iTunes and also here on the site. Have you tried downloading it from the website instead of from iTunes?
David
Hey David,
Yes that works, thanks a lot,
