✨Just the Meditation

Grief, sadness, and heartache can feel all-consuming, making it difficult to stay present. Today's meditation practice is an invitation to hold these emotions with care—not to fix or erase them, but to nurture connection to ourselves, others, and the natural world.

Experience a guided meditation practice infused with poetry, breathwork, grounding techniques, and the sounds of Glacier National Park to hold space for your emotions with kindness.

Take a deep breath, find a quiet place, and press play to explore a compassionate approach to meditating with grief.

Today's soundscape is in honor of Glacier National Park

Kintla Lake stretches for miles into the steep peaks and evergreen forest of Glacier National Park, providing a perfect location to record the soft sounds of lapping water. Cool nights tell of the change that will come as the season turns. Quiet between gusts, cool wind blowing from the north. A change of season is in the air. Warm days, cool nights. The vastness of the land is something from classic American western stories. Near the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, the Eastern Rocky Mountains of Montana reach into the clouds. The first dusting of snow coating the peaks.
