#175 - Mindfulness Meditation - Awareness Body Scan
A calming non-dual mindfulness practice allowing local awareness to move throughout the body. I took a walk with Bodhi in the morning fog and spent some time thinking about why we sometimes feel cut off from our dreams in life. It's almost like a fog is obscuring our view of both our self and our dreams. I made a video about it called Finding Our Inner Wisdom and you can find it on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/listentosleep/.
