In Troubled Times: At Measured Moments

In these troubled times, cultivating our own sense of peace and extending it to that part of our world within our influence has never been more important. We can expand the opportunities to do so through the foundational practice of mindfulness, focusing on the breath, practiced throughout the day with the aid of an hourly charm.

Each hour, with the reminder, we can come back to the breath, come back to ourselves, and remember that cultivating peace here, now, is what the world now most needs.

my head is so loud this morning. All I heard was you say have a beautiful day so I'm wishing you a beautiful day yourself my new friend thank you for sharing this with us Namaste.

This meditation is so timely. I find myself at times not in a very good place. But your suggestion of stopping through out the day for some peaceful breathing if only for a moment is really helpful. I’m going to do just that. Thank you for your soothing voice and common sense suggestion. Peace ☮️

Listening to this stirred the thought in me that feeling crappy, as I am at present, means that I am alive and there is a celebration, however hidden, in that. Thank you 🙏🏻

Jeffrey, that was one of the most beautiful reflections ever. Thank you.🙏
