Exploring Our Senses

by Andres Alvez

This calming and grounding meditation allows you to check in with your body and mind. As we bring awareness to our physical and emotional states, in connection with our breath, we learn to accept what’s going on in the present. This acceptance is the entry point to feeling greater contentment, positivity, and and more mindfully navigating our day-to-day challenges.
