Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we explore letting go of defensiveness and needing to protect ourselves, and look at how we can approach the world around us with curiosity and wonder, which gives a greater understanding of our true agency. When we're on the defensive, we can only react to the negative stimuli around us with more negativity; when we're ready to appreciate and create, we pave the way for enjoyment and resilience.

Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we explore setting intentions for the new year. Our topic is authenticity: having an inner and outer experience, mind/body/heart congruence, so that we don't feel like we're checked out of any part of our lives. Authenticity is key to self-compassion and enjoying the little things that make up life.

Greetings meditators, continuing our preparations for the Christmas, Hannukah and holiday season with meditations upon generosity.

Last week we covered ways to be generous with ourselves, and today we explore a generosity practice for others.

Generosity doesn't equal giving STUFF to others, but our loving, full presence without an agenda for control and change.
