Using the power of imagination, this is a body, mind, heart, and spirit integrated approach to freeing the mind. In meditation, imagine walking down a street or path of your choosing, and become present with everything. In your experience of presence, notice your freedom. You are free to choose the path just right for you.

This is a body, mind, heart, and spirit integration encouraging listeners to embrace their unique paths and gifts in life.
