This meditation episode invites you to become connect with the part of you that knows why you do what you do, and that's it connected to something bigger.  Maybe this is your sense of purpose, or something else - knowing exactly what it is, doesn't matter, simply know that it's there and allow yourself to connect with it.

We might think our "head" is in charge.  However, have you ever found body having a reaction before your head has even had time to "think" about what's going on?
