In this episode of Insights at the Edge—adapted from an earlier presentation given by Rev. angel during Sounds True's online Meditation Summit—she and Tami Simon speak on the sense of retreat that attracts many to mindfulness, even when it is an engagement with our inner fullness that is meditation's most valuable gift. Rev. angel discusses the cultivation of a "warrior spirit" that enriches and empowers our interactions with the world. Finally, Rev. angel offers a meditation practice on these themes called "Effort and Release."
