Today's guided practice starts with the breath and the body before an invitation to recall a difficult event or experience. Reflecting on your wisdom and compassion in the midst of suffering, we can cultivate this quality of resilience. A recommendation: Try to choose a "mid-level" challenge as opposed to a major traumatic event while practicing this meditation. This is practice! No need to jump to the hardest stuff first. :)

This guided meditation was inspired by the work of Brene Brown, Frank Ostaseski and Roshi Joan Halifax. It invites the practitioner to tap in to the strength as well as the openness that we can cultivate in the body.

Today's guided practice is an invitation to create space in your experience. Mindfulness asks two questions, "What is happening?" and "Can I be with it?"

Today's practice begins with an awareness of the body and the breath. When we practice too seriously, we often revert to practice habits of control, turning our work in to a grim duty of self-improvement. The invitation is to "let the breath come to you" and simply observe what is happening in your experience. Learn more at www.center4selfcare.com.

Today's practice is derived from Jack Kornfield's meditation on the Don't Know Mind (https://jackkornfield.com/practice-dont-know-mind/). Our culture suggests that we can know just about anything as long as we have Google and plenty of time. But resting in the uncertainty of not knowing can open us to possibility and relaxation.

Today's practice is the body scan. It can be used to harness attention but also to relax. Our teaching focuses on the spirit of bhavana or cultivation. Meditation is not about perfect ourselves or clearing our mind of thoughts. Instead, we bring our attention back again and again, no matter how far our mind has strayed. www.center4selfcare.com
