  • Meditation: Listen to Your Inner Knowing

    In this meditation, we begin with a breathing technique (box breathing) to help us feel grounded and centered


    We practice "noting" our thoughts and letting them go, which helps to slow down the thoughts fueled by our ego, anxiety, worry, etc. and quiet the mind enough to hear our body and our inner voice.
