Finding Refuge

In this practice, we explore three portals into safety and refuge. The first is through mindfulness of the breath. We connect with the felt sense of the breath as an anchor in the present moment of safety. We then connect with the body in a kind and open-hearted way, sensing any part of the body that might be pleasant or "okay enough" in this moment. Finally, we get creative with visualization, transporting ourselves to a mental sanctuary filled with our favorite smells, sights, and sounds.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, bogged down with anxiety, or just in need of a reprieve, may this meditation offer you the refuge you're seeking.

Simply wonderful. Provided so many forms of refuge. In my visual, it allowed me to return to the small isle of Staffa in Scotland. The grass I laid on atop the island, above the basalt columns. I visualized puffins flying off with anything that would help me find more peace. Thank you, Theresa, for guiding and supporting my journey. 💛

Thank you, Theresa! The refuge created here is so helpful and important in these times, or anytime. Blessings to you and all. 🙏
