We can all agree this year has been anything but easy. Perhaps you're feeling anxious, stressed or even fearful of what's to come. Find some ease with this self-compassion meditation to help you feel calm, centered and compassionate regardless of this election's outcome.  Be kind to yourself - this is a practice and every time we make the decision to slow down, pause and breathe, we set ourselves up to bounce back from adversity. Feel free to pause at any moment to lengthen your experience. Sending you love and light.
