Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of June 26, 2023

This week’s topic is “Living in Sacredness“.

 

Meditation is more than a practice of being present. The way in which we are present determines whether we reinforce habits of separation, or re-weave the fabric of sacredness. During this week we will explore the sacredness of body, breath, consciousness, emotions and beliefs. Returned to the embrace of sacredness, we plant seeds of Love in a world of separation.
