Let's dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero in this live episode of Sunday Zen.

We don't know how deep it is. It was Mind-Mum Vs Awake-Boy-Body. What if we fall...hey what if we don't! So we cycled through the flood and laughed all the way and we didn't fall off. A little Robin joined us at the...
