In this session we look at the strategy of withholding love from ourselves and does it really work? Then we explore the practice of arrival, and what does it really mean to come home?
This week’s topic is Mindfulness in Daily Life. Trying to practice mindfulness in the busyness of our daily lives can leave us confused or frustrated.

We’re grateful to have Miles Kessler guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and enrich your practice.

Living in Asheville, North Carolina, which was hit very hard by hurricane Helene two moths ago the Monday meditation was so helpful.

Thank you, Martin!
