This is a short guided relaxation, just about five minutes long, with no background music. It is for empaths, sensitive folks and those feeling overwhelmed by the troubles of the world. This is for you if you are involved in trying to make the world a better place through activism or volunteering or the healing arts. Or you if you are super sensitive and have watched too much news. This track includes some breath and body awareness as well as a visualization I have used for decades of a wise, peaceful grandmother. I don't remember when I was first introduced to this idea but it may have been at massage school. Rest deeply with this wise and strong being, and gather the strength you need. Don't worry about getting a perfect visual image. Rather, allow the feelings of being held and cared for to be present. May we all gain the strength, equanimity and the wisdom we need. May we all be nourished and find peace. (Thanks to Sally for inspiring this recording!)
