Distillation is a 1 Giant Mind advanced meditation practice that blends gentle movement, simple breathwork, deep meditation, and rest into one powerful sequence. It’s designed to help you release layers of tension, accumulated fatigue, and mental clutter—leaving you more clear, calm, and resilient.
