Wake Up Sessions 8: Exploring Trauma... What Else Is There?

Created to accompany you through any moment, Ruben’s Wake Up Sessions are 1–8 minute meditations that gently bring you back to stillness. The effect is cumulative: calm, insight, and a sense of ease begin to grow. Participants often share how life becomes softer, more grounded.

Sharing reflections — through a review or in class — reconnects us to the 'Non-Personal Loving Awareness' we all share. Friendships have formed across oceans, which continues to inspire Ruben. To deepen the practice, discover ‘Finally Feeling Worthy In Life’ and ‘Embracing Life, Death & Impermanence’.
