6. Accepting Change

Change. Why is it so hard for us to accept? Why do we constantly worry about the outcome of situations, and in doing so, miss the joy of the journey getting there? Change is a universal constant, we are all constantly growing, adapting, evolving, changing. It's only when we fear change, do we become paralysed. This simple guided meditation with Vivek, focussing on accepting change will take you through three elements: relaxation, breathing and affirmation. Change, and start your journey now.

Open your eyes and remain seated in place.
