Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-mntkv-... This deeply relaxing 12-minute guided visualization takes you on one of Laurie Smith's intuitive journeys, where you will imagine floating in a deeply relaxed state, connected to your own loving, flowing self within, while also being surrounded by a greater loving energy, a greater flow. In this episode, Laurie E. Smith, author of the research-backed practical flow state book--The Flow Habit--leads you to take your power back by tapping your own ability to open to where you're feeling guided to go. Laurie also references the teachings of Noreen O'Sullivan and her book Look, Listen, Love as well as her practice of noticing whether our emotions need love or are giving love. You can learn more about Noreen's work on her website https://www.noreenosullivan.com/.
