Sages teach that the secret to living happily is to rest with ease in each moment, with a sense of openness and freedom. This is easier said than done, of course, but with practice we can nudge our minds in that direction.

This 20-minute guided practice offers an opportunity to settle into the moment, to let go of excess tension, and to offer goodwill toward ourselves and the world around us. We learn to befriend what is, in our bodies, our breath, our mind and our world.

Just a few moments each day of letting go of our busy-ness and to-do lists can nudge us back toward sanity. We rest our minds and our bodies in the here and now. We remember who we are and what matters most. We reconnect with our truest selves, our deepest loves and the light that shines everywhere.
