When we are experiencing difficult emotions or situations, our first impulse is often to look for a way out—usually through distracting, numbing, running, or denying. But what if the key to getting to the other side of difficulty is to simply be with it, offering the discomfort our courageous awareness and presence? In this week's practice, author and meditation teacher Ed Halliwell guides us through a meditation we can lean on when things get tough. Note that this practice includes longer pauses of complete silence for reflection and presence. If you want more time, feel free to pause the recording as you go. If you'd like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week. Stay curious, stay inspired.
