Reflecting on True Self: Plotinus' Mirror Meditation
This body of yours is not really your true self. It is you in the same way that the stars and sky seen on the surface of the water are stars and sky.
Have you ever wondered if there's more to your identity than what meets the eye? In this episode of 'Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity', Serena invites you to explore the teachings of Plotinus, a revered philosopher and mystic from antiquity.

Through a 45-minute guided meditation, Serena helps you tap into this profound wisdom. Imagine peeling away the layers of daily distractions to uncover a serene, reflective state where you can meet your true self.
Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers a unique opportunity to delve into ancient wisdom and find inner peace. Perfect for anyone looking to enhance their mental clarity and overall well-being.
