Send me a note, love to hear from you. This meditation invites us to enter the body through the sense of touch. We begin by noticing the simple contact of the body sitting: the sit bones touching the chair, the feet touching the ground, the hands resting, the clothing touching the skin, and the air touching the face.

Module 12: Episode 4 - The Healing Power of Imagination 06.05.2026 27:14
