The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard

Returning to Stillness


Listen Later

In this meditation, I invite you to return once again to the form that steadies the practice.


These returning to form meditations are offered regularly because stillness is not something we achieve once and keep forever. It is something we gently recover. This simple structure — posture, breath and awareness — becomes a reliable way back whenever we feel scattered or distracted.

We begin with the thread of attention that draws us upright, noticing the breath as it moves. We breathe out stress and breathe in calm. Emotions and thoughts are acknowledged without struggle, and we rest quietly in a place of light and peace.

From here, intention widens beyond ourselves. We sit not only for our own steadiness, but for the wellbeing of all.

This daily guided meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you begin again with clarity, balance and quiet assurance.
