Equanimity Earth Grounded And Sky Spacious And Bright

This is a guided meditation and therefore has spoken words. It is best used as guidance for another time in silence. It invites the listener to firstly release tension then ground awareness in the earth element with reference to a mountain. Then, it invites the listener to open awareness, wide and spacious like the sky. Please excuse ambient sounds and cultivate equanimity about them, as this is a live recording. It was recorded at a silent meditation retreat in Australia in September 2019.
