Reminding myself of the book, “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse” by Charlie Mackesy, this meditation comes from the page that asks, “what do you do when you get tired?” Recalling it as my mind retells the story, I offer you rest, the kind you can create for yourself. 

Ease into the practice of meditation with just a few minutes of awareness of your space, your breath, where your feet are.

The beauty is that to move forward, we have to first stop. This is that pause, hold, “do nothing” state in order to see clearly and move in the directions we are meant to move with calm, ease and clarity. A short combination of discussion, how-to, and meditation.

Repetition and consistency provide the safe space, the comforting home, the predictable nature of inner peace present within us. Each time we return is like a hug, a nod, an affirmation that we are ok. 

Short meditation on the power and strength of peace.

When the going gets tough…. That’s what we’re here for. To be aware and to have the skills to not get lost in tough things, but to find the strength and the calm ripple within us to meet them.

A few ideas for a simple meditation practice followed by a short, guided external and internal check-in
