| Eyes Open Meditation | 03 Jul 2025 | 00:07:20 | |
In this meditation we'll practice mindfulness with our eyes open.

For most of us, the real value of meditation is in supporting us to show up better when we're not meditating, and this practice is a way to intentionally bring the mindfulness of meditation into the rest of our day.
