Season 3 Bonus - In this guided meditation, Geeta guides us through a story, a visualization, where we get to interact, at an experiential level, with two important and essential dimensions of the human heart.
These two dimensions consist of aversion and connection. Initially, these two forces of aversion and connection may seem contradictory to each other, yet, as we explore in this visualization, we get to experience firsthand how they inform and interplay with each other.
At the heart of this visualization, we are asked to move into the body and explore how it feels to recoil in the face of danger. But it doesn’t stop here. We are also asked to move into the body to explore how it feels when we acknowledge we are no longer in danger and seek to help those in suffering…whether it be a dog, a friend, or ourselves.
What would be like for us to move throughout our day to day lives with greater insight and awareness of how we react in the face of danger, and how, in the midst of this reaction of this aversion, we can still leave a space for care, connection, and human compassion.
Thank you Geeta for this guided visualization.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
