The same consciousness that orchestrates the myriad rhythms of the whole world dwells within each of us. #y aligning ourselves with consciousness, connecting fully with the present, and staying open to the many opportunities life offers, we have the power within us to reali"e all our dreams with effortless ease.

Today!s meditation centers on bringing our heartfelt desires into crystali"ed focus and putting our attention on what we envision.

3Wherever you go, go with all your heart.4 5onfucius It is not uncommon to set a goal and then push forward with our eyes so fi)ed on the destination that we become unaware of the terrain on which we travel.
