Leela says: “Over the years my interest in awakening has be reformulated as how to be a real human being. In this session I invite you to explore, with me, the possibility of being grounded in the natural goodness of being. We will inquire how to live a full life from the ground of presence,…

A river of presence flows through all of life, connecting us with ourselves and each other and the essence of living.

Such a beautiful experience, to be able to listen to your recorded guidance. During the meditation, I was deeply moved by your invitation to allow peaceful presence. It seems to make such common sense, and, yet, the busyness of life, even while sitting, can make such an invitation feel like such a loving release to the here and now. Thank you so much!
