Presence


Listen Later

What's the essence of life if we merely exist, ticking off days without truly living them? In this episode, we share how we stumbled upon the profound significance of presence and the actionable strategies we've deployed to increase it in our everyday lives. From yoga and meditation to exercises you can deploy no matter what you're doing, these approaches are perfect for seizing the moment before it passes you by.

Embracing the moment isn't just a skill; it's a transformative journey. We invite you to join us on a path to infinite flowing golden guru levitation. Or maybe just more moments we can cherish, let’s start there!
