Day 25: Joy Is My True Nature

Meditation Series: Embrace Joy in Every Moment
Led by Tiya Caniel

With the mantra, "Joy is my true nature", this meditation is a gentle guide into joyfulness. It offers a way to connect with your joy at any point of your day, while serving as a reminder that joy is your true nature. It pulls from the Yoga Sutra Book 1, Verse 3: "United in the heart, consciousness is steadied, then we abide in our true nature - joy."
