This Too Shall Pass

This short meditation is an invitation to become still and gently notice the changing nature of each moment. Through the simple rhythm of the breath, we’ll observe how thoughts, feelings and sensations naturally arise and eventually pass. Rather than holding on or pushing anything away, we’ll practice simply being present with what is. A quiet reminder that everything changes—and sometimes there is peace to be found in allowing it to.

Close your eyes. If that feels comfortable. And allow yourself to become still. Notice your breath. Without trying to change. Anything. A breath arrives. And then it leaves. A thought arrives. And then it fades. A feeling rises. Staying for a while. And then eventually passes. Nothing needs to remain exactly as it is. So for these few moments. Allow yourself. To simply be here. You don't have to hold on to anything. And you don't have to push anything away. Rest in the stillness beneath all this change. Take one more slow breath in. And gently breathe out. And remember. . . This moment, Too, Will pass.
