In this special "Best of Awake in the World" episode, we explore why we struggle so much when all we really need to do is pause and truly see what's right in front of you? It's always in the present moment, in our breath, and in the space we give ourselves. While life's challenges may bring pain, heartache, or unmet needs, we always have what we need to practice. It’s simpler than we often think—it’s about cultivating an attitude of awareness. Join us as we reflect on how we can return to this mindset, especially after the complexities of daily life. The Awake in the World podcast is brought to you by the generosity of our amazing Patreon supporters, making it possible for us to keep Michael's archive of teachings available to the public.
