Embracing Oneness: A Practice of Union
Introduction:
In this 7-minute spiritual practice, we will explore the profound truth of our inherent unity with God, each other, and ourselves. We'll work to dissolve the illusion of separateness that often leads to harmful thoughts and actions. Through guided meditation and reflection, we'll connect with the divine vine that sustains us all, cultivating a deeper sense of communion and oneness. Let us begin this journey of reconnection and rediscovery of our true, unified nature.
