Your Daily Meditation | Day 6: Moved By Everything

Please keep in mind these sessions were recorded live.
This session is about how we are moved by everything when self obsession is absent.

There is a short talk followed by a spacious guided meditation. The meditations are deliberately spacious, with plenty of silence, allowing you to experience the practice for yourself and notice what the mind keeps presenting to you—without needing to change, fix or understand it.
