Mountain Meditation

This is a mountain meditation, inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn, and commonly used within Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
The practice invites us to bring to mind the image of a mountain and to explore what it might be like to embody its qualities in our own experience. A mountain stands upright and grounded, rooted deeply in the earth, expressing dignity, stability, and quiet composure. In this meditation, we are encouraged to sense these same qualities within the body as we sit or stand, allowing the spine to rise naturally and the body to feel supported and steady.
