We decided to welcome the New Year by initiating a gratitude rampage. With our communities, friends and families still considerably affected by the pandemic and political instability, we wanted to take this moment as a path to return to the basics of being grateful for the small gifts life graciously offers.
In this episode, Mpho explains the concept of an energetic rampage and leads us through a meditative gratitude rampage. The meditative journey is enhanced by Reiki, Tingsha Tibetan Bell (Chimes) and a Tibetan Singing Bowl.
