    #149 Bonus: Radical authenticity 10 minute meditation

    In this special episode we bring you a guided meditation to help you to connect with your true self and create your most fully expressed life.Connect with and embody your radical authenticity, enabling you to live as the most genuine version of yourself.
     
    This is a profound journey of alignment. Embracing your authenticity means you can align with the most fulfilled version of yourself, as well as with your highest skills and gifts. Being truly authentic, firstly with yourself, can feel like a brave leap into the unknown or away from a pack. And it is for the brave. But it is a journey that promises freedom, happiness, and connection will fill your life. 
     
    I invite you to listen to this meditation every day and notice how your life starts to change.
     
    This meditation is set to music using Alpha waves to help you enter a deeper meditative state, bringing you calm, mind-body integration and learning.
