But as we evolve in the practice, we begin to discover that the goal of meditation is less about *physical* relaxation and more about *existential* relaxation. As we begin to experience and align with the deeper dimensions of consciousness and awareness, our superficial stress and anxiety naturally drops away and we begin to experience a fundamental trust in life itself. In this video, Craig guides an experiential journey into the heart of this foundational trust in life and how it can be accessed through meditation practice.
