Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of March 18, 2024

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of 11 May, 2026
This week’s theme is: Less Stuck Than We Think
When we find ourselves feeling stuck, it may be that we are less so than we think. Even in circumstances beyond our control, there is some possibility of agency and freedom.
