A New Way of Being
A New Way of Being is about the art of inner alignment and finding flow. It starts with developing a different relationship with your thinking mind. You are not your thoughts, you are aware of your thoughts. This is a crucial distinction that can have a profound effect. Life isn't something to be 'won', but is rather a continuous miracle to be experienced, and Simon Mundie and guests discuss ways to understand and embody this new way of being. Guests range from world renowned thinkers, philosophers, scientists and healers - to many of the most successful athletes of all time.
