Sömn är en underbar gåva. Det handlar inte bara om vila och återhämtning utan även om den djupa kontakt vi får med oss själva när vi drömmer.

För varje meditation finns förslag på eteriska oljor som du kan använda för att förstärka meditationens tema.Varje meditation börjar med en kort ritual innan den lotsar dig vidare till en rogivande plats. Oavsett om du följer Den enkla vägen eller om du driver iväg på Vindstilla sjö - se till att färdas till en härlig plats i natt.

The meditations included are designed to encourage clarity and energy for the day ahead, with weekend morning meditations to help let go of the past week and explore bigger questions.

We are each the living expression of our purpose, an embodiment of our reason for being. Your purpose is not what you do. Your purpose is who you are. Having a purpose in life is one of the most fundamental human needs, but for many people finding their purpose in life is not obvious.This workbook and guided journal provides a map so that you can understand what purpose is (and what it isn't), how it feels to be connected with your purpose and discover your own purpose, which is often easier to find than we imagine (spoiler: it's been there all along). Danielle North, an expert in the area of personal development, has worked with many people from different walks of life to help them find their purpose; distilling the process into an engaging, enlightening and practical workbook that will not only help you see just why you are here, but help you work and live with purpose every day.
