These meditations are designed to offer gentle emotional support during times that may feel overwhelming, uncertain, or deeply personal. Rather than aiming to change or resolve difficult emotions, they provide space to notice what is present with care and kindness.
Some people find these practices help create small moments of steadiness, reassurance, or emotional breathing room.

When these practices may be useful
You may wish to explore these meditations:
When emotions feel intense, confusing, or hard to name
During periods of grief, sadness, anxiety, or fatigue
When you feel disconnected from your body or sense of self
As a quiet pause during the day, or before rest
There is no requirement to feel calm, focused, or settled for these practices to be beneficial.
A gentle approach
These meditations are not about “doing it right” or reaching a particular emotional state. You are invited to listen in a way that feels supportive — whether that means following along closely, letting the words wash over you, or stepping away if needed.
If emotions arise, you may acknowledge them softly and return to the practice whenever you feel ready.
Listening tips
Choose a position that feels comfortable and safe
You may listen with eyes open or closed
Use headphones if that feels helpful, or play the audio softly in the background
It’s okay to pause, skip sections, or stop altogether
Even brief moments of listening can be enough.
If you need additional support
If listening brings up strong or distressing emotions, you may find it helpful to reach out for additional support. Speaking with someone you trust or accessing professional support can be an important part of caring for yourself.
Karuna’s services are available to support individuals and families with compassion, understanding, and respect.
