Today's meditation was recorded to help people suffering from anxiety in relation to the Coronavirus.  But, it can be helpful any time you are feeling a little stressed.  Enjoy.

Obviously there is a glut of coverage about the Coronavirus, much of it dire and foreboding. With all this coverage of fear and panic you might be thinking how can you even settle your mind for a moment to meditate. Thankfully Tricycle has an answer for you. Today and tomorrow I will reading a great post by six acclaimed meditation instructors that talk about 6 practices for that very thing, practicing in a pandemic.

Despite all the adjectives people may be using to describe 2020, there still are ways to see things in a way that promotes peace and compassion. For the next few days i will be reading posts that teach us how to use 2500 year old wisdom to better accept the current health crisis.

As a musician, I have a profound respect and appreciation for other more accomplished musicians. It astounds me how composers are able to marry the sounds of a variety of instruments so perfectly. Chris Collins is such a composer. Even better is the fact that he creates music to enhance our meditation practice. On top of all that, he is a kind, warm and funny guy. I had the best time speaking with him as you will come to find out. Enjoy!

Today I share a great article from Lion's Roar that talks about the things meditation cannot do.

Today I talk about why a slight arch in the lower back is beneficial for meditating.  I use a great article by Anne Asher to help demonstrate.  Come Listen.

You don't need to sit in the traditional Lotus position to meditate.  There is a posture that needs to be maintained, but it can be performed in a regular chair with a supported back.  To hear how to sit to meditate, simply tune in today.

If you have a somewhat consistent morning meditation practice but sometimes blow it off, then you will want to listen to today's episode. It's all about becoming a more consistent practitioner

In preparation for next week's interview with Insight timer musician Chris Collins I thought I would play a piece that he kindly agreed to share with us.  Enjoy Stress Melt! :0)
