This is a special, guided meditation dedicated to world peace. And, more specifically, peace in the Middle East right now (Oct 2023). Meditation may not seem that important or like an obvious starting place for what we can contribute... But when we can regulate our nervous systems, ground our energy, and connect deeply with our hearts that IS the place where we can make the biggest impact--because we can respond instead of react, and we can bring a calming, grounding presence instead of adding to the chaos. If your heart is hurting right now, if you aren't sure what to do or where to begin, start here. Peace is many things, and it all begins with coming back and listening to your heart. Thank you for taking this journey with me. Sending so much love to you all and to our world. *Please note: I preface this meditation with an 8-minute talk and story at the beginning. It helps set the stage. If you'd like to dive right into the meditation, please skip to about the 8-minute mark.
