Meditation Through The Senses

With Michelle Agopsowicz

Meditation is a highly beneficial daily practice that can help to improve mood and concentration as well as decrease stress, anxiety, and depression.  In our modern age, it is very easy to get overwhelmed with daily life.   I am a social worker and Reiki Master who specializes in trauma, mindfulness, and meditation.  This specialization has come from my own experience of being an anxious, traumatized people pleaser. Join me for this 10-day meditation challenge to explore your senses.  We will explore the idea of the senses through the five aspects of self-body, emotions, social, thoughts, and universal connection.  We will then expand this idea to include the five elements- earth, air, water, fire, and ether and then finally through the five elements, the five aspects of self and the five senses.   And then the extra content will include how to connect with the traditional sense of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Learn what meditation is, and what meditation is not as well as some of the benefits and drawbacks of this daily practice.  Meditation is a hugely beneficial practice that only improves over time.  So come join me in learning meditation, self-compassion, and relaxation! I am excited to share with you my passion for meditation!

There are some good pieces, good instructions. But the majority I found to be a kind of superficial blah-blah, confusing, inconsistent and sometimes making little sense. The audio is subpar. Disappointed…
