We can awaken through joy, laughter, and creativity.

We do not have to take the path of struggle and suffering. However, to do this, we need to remember. Meditation is the way to remember and return to the path of bliss.

But, meditation—what is meditation really?

It is not simply in-turning. It is not just relaxation. In this nano teaching, we explore the deep nature of meditation as a practice of healing the soul and ritual of awakening to who we truly are.

**Note: This teaching is excerpted from a complete four-part program originally offered to the Wisdom Heart Community. Learn more here. 

Highlights from this teaching include:

>> The sacred nature of the soul.

>> What obscures the sense of wholeness?

>> Washing away patterns of identification.

>> Meditation is not simply in-turning.

>> How awakening fulfills whatever is lacking.

>> The path of being who you are.

What does it mean to “wash away patterns of identification”?
