“Sensory Mastery is an excellent course. The lectures are enlightening, and the exercises helped me connect with each of my 5 senses, gaining a deeper awareness of how I perceive the world and why I perceive it that way. This course has given me a different way of looking at the stress in my life and new tools for relieving that stress. I’ve also noticed my meditation practice has shifted into something deeper. I am so grateful for this new insight!”
