Summary
Meditation: Awareness - Listening To and Feeling the Moment (2016-04-27) -
This meditation awakens a relaxed open presence through the body. We then widen attention to include sounds, and then relax back and fully inhabit the awareness that is listening to and feeling the changing flow of life.
