We are mired in challenging, stressful, distressing, scary, and heartbreaking moments right now. That fact cannot be avoided. Frankl tells us, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. That’s what I the hope and the message I wish to share right now.
This meditation is part visualization, part body scan, and part instruction on the seven chakra centers of the body. You can pause between each chakra center for an extended experience, or use as a guide to focus solely on one energy center that may be of concern. Enjoy!
A shorter, easy to remember variant on the longer four sublime states meditation I offered earlier this week.
This meditation brings focus and awareness to the four sublime states from the Buddhist tradition: lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.
By maintaining mindfulness even amid the challenges of our own uncomfortability we learn to tolerate it. This can then be applied to the pain, frustration, and unease of the dualities of life. The dualities of this challenging moment in time.
