~I invite you to listen to the audio version shared above, where a guided meditation is provided that follows what is shared below in the text.
To want to improve, to want to learn, these are two reasons we have an ego. The ego can be helpful unless it goes unchecked. Our awareness keeps it in check. The thinking mind is where the ego resides. We want to be able to think, to ponder, to analyze, and do so of our own free will, to question, to connect the dots, but if we are thinking all of the time, we take ourselves out of the present moment.
Once we know how to move from thinking and back into the present moment, knowing when during our day to think and when to observe all that is around us, we put ourselves in the driver’s seat of our mind, and the ego is along for the ride, wherever we choose to take it.
When we remember to sit in awareness, to be fully present wherever we are, we let go of the thinking mind. By being present, we discover a connection to where we are, a connection to others, and everything that surrounds us and makes our living and breathing possible. In these moments, we realize we are never alone, and our awareness teaches us this truth.

~To conclude each meditation session, I encourage you to recite a mantra of your choosing and design. In the Contentment Masterclass, I share my example, which you are welcome to use, tweak, or look to as a template to design your own. Also provided to enrollees of the course is a free trial of the guided meditation app I use.
