Freedom From the Inner Critic

Courses

Build your skills

This meditation is a practice to attune you to your senses and the sensory world you live in. It is a way to invite connection between our inner and outer worlds

Sensory Awareness

Every moment life is changing. In this practice, we turn out attention to the changing inner and outer landscape of experience as so learn to abide with a visceral understanding of the reality of change.

Living With Change

A key way to calm the mind is to ground the attention in the body. By attuning to the body, breath and the senses we can allow awareness of the present to relieve the anxiety of the mind.
