Meditating When Stressed

Depending on how stressed you are feeling, mediation can help or hinder. Your biochemistry when stressed is designed to make you fight or flee and so sitting in meditation can be a big ask. In this meditation, Thor guides you through how to support your experience of stress and in doing so ease it. With gentle compassion they support you to get curious about the stress you are experiencing. Feelings are information and it's more helpful to be curious than critial.

i found my favorite teacher on insight timer. thank you for helping bring steadiness to me this morning and for reminding me of the importance of self-kindness.

I hadn’t realized how stressed out I was. But am feeling a little better thanks to you.

This is such a supportive practice! Sitting with my feelings of stress and offering myself compassion was such a powerful experience for me—my racing mind has slowed, and I don’t feel as contracted or tight in my body as I originally felt. Thank you so much Thor for this practice! I found it incredibly helpful!

Thank you, that was so very helpful. I will use again and appreciate your tone, voice and compassion.
