Our modern lifestyle, with constant connectivity, has affected our perception of the intangible world that surrounds us. We have become disconnected from nature, allowing its wildness to fade into the background of daily stress, endless scrolling, and the pursuit of material things. It's important to reconnect with our natural selves, to remember the essence within us that can guide us through life's challenges with grace and ease – our intuition, our sacred inner voice.

This gentle meditation is perfect for beginners and experienced meditators alike. This practice allows one to settle into a natural awareness of breath and body, letting go and experiencing these few moments without judgment. Regular practice of awareness meditation can aid one in releasing attachments and judgments. As typically we see our lives only through the lens of how things affect us on an individual level. This practice allows for an expansion of self, understanding that our view is not the only view or necessarily the correct one. Our perceptions and judgments arise from our past experiences, colored by our emotions. Realizing we are not our emotions and learning to pause and rest in pure awareness grants us the freedom to accept the world and our lives as they are.

Amid the chaos and demands of daily life, we often forget to pause and reflect on how far we've come and acknowledge the countless small victories that have shaped our path.
