This week, host of Out of the Clouds Anne Muhlethaler is joined by journalist, media trainer and ex-broadcaster Martin Popplewell (@Martinpops).

Far from being a simple wish or a prayer, Metta doesn't change our situations yet it may change how we relate to ourselves and each other over time. This meditation awakens listening presence, first inquiring about state, then offering relaxation and ease through the body, tuning into the heart...

Today I talk to Eva Geraldine Fontanelli. We begin by discussing how Eva is coping with the lockdow then tells me about her meditation practice.
