This talk introduces the basics of mindfulness. IT also explore different ways of being aware. We can view awareness practices on a spectrum from focused awareness, to flexible awareness, to natural awareness. The talk goes along with the July 9, 2018 Guided Meditation.

This talk explores how we can counteract self-judgement through mindfulness, the cultivation of positive emotional states, and the recognition of our shared humanity. It also weaves in teachings of natural awareness, inner goodness, and the importance of stepping into our power in the world.
