Summary

Sharpen your sense of smell for the ultimate gateway to mindfulness.

0:00.0	This is episode 1061.
0:03.4	Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:07.1	And welcome to another episode of meditating for your five senses. That's our theme this week. We explore a
0:19.2	different theme every single week and this week is all about meditating with your five senses.
