#Equinox Meditation: Finding the balance point in ourselves and the world
Manda’s Equinox meditation focuses on finding our sense of balance as the tilt of the world balances between summer and winter, light and dark, day and night. And from that, finding a stable place with the three pillars of our heart minds: joyful curiosity, gratitude and compassion.
The meditation is available in three versions:
– The original guided meditation by Manda with no background sound
– with background birdsong
– with background music
