We naturally use our five physical senses to interact with the world. However, we can enhance our senses -- and our presence in the world -- by empowering the spirit within us.

In today's meditation, we connect with the Divine source, to empower the Spirit. By recognizing and empowering our spirit, the core of who we are, we can have a better understanding of ourselves -- that we are spirits having a human experience. We can then let go of any limitations, and think and move beyond the physical world.

When faced with a decision, we are often told to trust our intuition, to trust our gut. But what should we do when our intuition goes against logic? What should we do when we're not sure what our intuition is telling us? Or even whether it is speaking to us at all? When disconnected from our intuition, we become unsure, insecure, doubtful, stagnant, and stuck. When connected, our intuition protects, motivates, and leads us toward our highest good. In today's meditation, we reconnect with our intuition, that quiet voice inside us.

Do you feel drained after a long day? Have you ever felt like people bothered you ‘too much’, or you had trouble saying ‘no’? You may need to reset your inner boundary. Without a strong boundary, our life force leaks from us like water from a leaky bucket. Without a strong boundary, anyone can get 'under our skin'. In today's meditation, we reset and strengthen our inner boundary. This helps us to cultivate our own renewable energy and infinite life force, and protects us from the draining influence of others. It can also help us to set personal boundaries in our daily lives.

In many places around the world, winter holidays are a time for feasting. However, as a culture, we surround our food -- and our time for eating -- with guilt and fear. We "grab a bite" and rush through our meals. We eat distractedly, many of us even eating at our desks while working. We tie food to our body image. We act very picky about what is considered "good" or "healthy", and we beat ourselves up for eating "bad" foods. We have destroyed our joy and our enjoyment of eating. In today's meditation, we open our capacity to enjoy a meal, fully present, with all of our senses alive, fully appreciative, and full of joy.
