In this meditation: What if love isn't a feeling you have, but a moment you share? Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson defines love as a "micro-moment of warmth and connection that you share with another living being." In this session, we use meditation to tune the instrument: to soften, settle the body, and become more available for those moments of connection off the cushion, in everyday life.

This meditation is for you if you want to: • Feel more connected and less lonely • Open your heart and cultivate love and kindness • Quiet the ego and the overthinking mind • Practise a secular, non-religious transcendence meditation • Bring Stoic philosophy and mindfulness into daily life
