These meditations are rooted in traditional Buddhist practices and are offered as gentle supports rather than instructions or expectations. Some people find they help create moments of calm, clarity, or steadiness, particularly during times of uncertainty, grief, or emotional fatigue.
You are encouraged to approach these practices in a way that feels safe and appropriate for you. There is no “right” outcome — even a few quiet breaths can be enough.

When to use these meditations
You may find these practices helpful:
During moments of emotional overwhelm or restlessness
When the mind feels busy, anxious, or scattered
Before sleep, rest, or quiet reflection
As a brief grounding practice during the day
It is okay to stop at any time if the practice does not feel supportive.
A gentle reminder
Meditation is not about clearing the mind or fixing what you feel. It is simply an invitation to be present with kindness — exactly as you are, in this moment.
If emotions arise, you might acknowledge them softly and return to the practice whenever you are ready.
Listening tips
Find a comfortable position — seated or lying down
You may wish to close your eyes or soften your gaze
Use headphones if possible, or listen in a quiet space
Allow yourself to pause or replay sections as needed
There is no need to complete the meditation in one sitting.
