Episode description
This guided meditation offers a pathway to quieting our mind and calming anxiety. We begin with long deep breathing, and with the breath, engage the image of a smile and relax through the body. Then we practice resting in relaxed awareness, allowing waves of thoughts, feelings and sensations to come and go.
The meditation ends with a beautiful verse from poet Philip Booth:
As you float now, where I held you and let go, remember when fear cramps your heart what I told you: lie gently and wide to the light-year stars, lie back, and the sea will hold you.
Poem: First Lesson," by Philip Booth from Lifelines: Selected Poems 1950-1999 (Viking).
