Staying Centered And Loving In Tumultuous Times

On a normal day, our thinking brains spend an incredible amount of time rehashing the past or worrying about the future. In the midst of major change and chaos, the brain will often kick into overdrive. This can create a storm of thoughts in our heads and anxiety in our bodies. In tumultuous times, there is tremendous value in de-escalating the thought cyclone so that we can think and see clearly.

This meditation takes you on a guided imagery journey to help you access, recognize, and rest in the loving energy of Self. This is the perfect meditation for times when you want to stop the spinning storm of thoughts in your head so that you can rest in the wisdom of your true nature, your compassionate and loving heart.

Seeking out the company and support of others is one way to restore our hope and faith in humanity. Living authentically so that we can also be a beacon of light to those in need of help is how we build the community that sustains us through challenging times.

When we are struggling, we can feel isolated. It can be hard to focus on the community that loves us when all we can see is pain. This short meditation will help you connect to the support from your past and present so that you can recharge your aching heart with the love and encouragement you need.

When there is great suffering happening in our world, it can feel selfish or wrong to have feelings of joy and gratitude, but it’s not wrong or selfish at all. In fact, joy and gratitude are essential. They are lights in our darkness. They bring us hope, restore our faith in one another and help to strengthen our relationships.

Sometimes it can be difficult to find things that we are grateful for, especially when we are going through tough times in our lives. This simple meditation combines the mindfulness practice of open awareness with recall/visualization to help us uncover the many things in our lives that bless us with joy.
