Mindfulness All Flavours! Week 4: Breadth And Focus

By Candradasa on Mon, 15 Dec, 2014 - 21:08Here we are in our final week of the current session of online meditation!

This time we’re going to look at how to hold all three aspects using an awareness of breadth and focus in our meditation. And as usual we’ll be doing this in the context...
