Calista's 5 Minute Mondays Calista Sordelet

It has been wonderful to experience and grow Calista’s 5 Minute Mondays with you. Engaging in these practices for myself has shown me that I need to take a sabbatical from Calista’s 5 Minute Monday for 2022 to recharge, renew, and refocus. I hope that the last 113 episodes will stay with you as they have with me.

This week’s 5 Minute Monday is a replay of our Body Scan episode. As part of our Just Breath calendar, we are replaying the best breath hits.
