“A hallmark of mindfulness is the silencing of the mind, giving way to the expanding expression of the heart in the all-knowing present moment. 

In that stillness there emerges a sacred connection to all.

Mindful microdosing cultivates this spaciousness of mind and expansiveness of heart.”

Lauren Alderfer, award-winning mindfulness author, Mindful Microdosing: A Guidebok and Journal
