New episodes will return in the Spring (a series of episodes in the works!)

Self Awareness Practice - Recast of Episode 196 of Everyday Meditation, a follow up to last week's discussion on meditation and unconscious bias!

As always, I encourage you to make yourself at home in this practice: substitute, modify, do as you need to feel safe and present, including taking breaks!

Integration suggestion
After listening to the episode, perhaps check in: did you notice something that you want to carry with you? If yes, maybe jot it down in a notebook or record a voice memo to help you remember!

You can give this practice a try when you're ready!

Be moving, be true, be you!
