As lifelong meditators and mindfulness teachers, we confess that we were almost embarrassed when we stumbled upon a 5-15 second shortcut to transcendence.

- how we unwittingly cut ourselves off from feeling awe
- how AWE can enhance traditional mental health therapies
- strategies for using AWE to .
