Valerie June is a singer-songwriter from Tennessee known for mixing the musical styles of folk, blues, gospel, soul, country, psychedelica and bluegrass. Her music has appeared on “The Best of The Year” lists from both The New York Times and Rolling Stone, and received public admiration from Bob Dylan. She is the author of a book of poetry and drawings, Maps of The Modern World, and an experienced practitioner of meditation and mindfulness. In this expansive episode Valerie shares the emotional experience of touring and the mindful practices she uses on (and off) the road. Her and Richard also discuss gratitude, mantras, the power of the breath, and dealing with the four horsemen of the musical apocalypse: depression, anxiety, suicidality and addiction.   @thevaleriejune https://valeriejune.com/   Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @WolfInTune  https://www.richardwolf.net/ Read "In Tune: Music As The Bridge To Mindfulness"  https://tinyurl.com/tz67aqm
