Touching the Stillness

Quickened by a soul-longing, urgently pulling her in a temporary new direction, our host is taking to heart this quote from a reflection in a recent Science of Mind magazine: “I am inspired to exemplify a joyful, rich, and playful existence, so I may better serve the world”.

Touching the Stillness

There’s no question that Gratitude is a deepening practice… Unless it’s posing as false positivity to merely paper over cracks of unfelt emotions. Then it doesn’t work as well. So this episode’s meditation cultivates a space in which to evoke a less pretentious attitude of gratitude.
