Today, a little bit different episode: I will guide you through a short meditation practice called “Rest in the Flow of Effortlessness”.

It is a perfect meditation to do when you are a bit too much “in action mode”, accessing things in life with a sense of struggle and effort. 

However, it means you will need to listen this episode in a quiet space and focused way, practicing it as a form of short meditation.

I hope you will enjoy it, and find the experience insightful.
