SUMMARY:Inspiring a Revolution in Your Heart and Mind
DESCRIPTION:Bringing the Mind Home\n\nTake a deep dive into a rich variety of meditation techniques to transform your moods and emotions. And discover how the whole purpose of meditation is to transcend our ordinary mind\, to discover our vast\, wise and compassionate fundamental nature\, which we have lost touch with. The highest goal of meditation is to awake in us the sky-like nature of mind and introduce to us who we really are: our unchanging pure awareness.
