Finding Stability in Unstable Times

Personalized support for learning how to integrate mindfulness into your life. Delivered fresh everyday by our world renowned experts. Choose meditation duration:

Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.

So today, I'm going to share a

simple practice with you that

you can use to find a sense of

stability in these unstable times.

And we really are living

through an incredible time of

uncertainty and upheaval right now.

I'm, I'm sure feeling it.

And difficult times like these, we

tend to try and grasp for a sense of

control of stability in the inherently

unstable and uncertain world around us.

But, in truth, the very

nature of all experience is

forever in flux and changing.

And the best way of finding lasting

stability is within ourselves and

with, within awareness itself.

You know, this is a foundational teaching

of the world's wisdom traditions.

And no matter what's happening,

awareness is always here as a

resting place in a refuge, just

like the ground beneath our feet.

So whenever you're feeling really pulled

around by all the uncertainty, just

remember that no matter what's going

on, awareness really is always here.

It's always with you.

And in the moments when I'm

the most overwhelmed, I have

a simple practice that I do.

I just take a deep breath in.

And on the out breath, I let my

attention travel all the way down

to my feet, or if I'm sitting all

the way down to my connection point

with the ground, and I just feel the

ground beneath me, and I remember.

All the fires, storms, and seasons that

have passed over this earth and how

steady and peaceful she still stands.

And it reminds me of the stability

of awareness within me too.

So see if you can remember the

simple practice whenever you need

to find solid ground again in

the days and the weeks to come.

So as always thank you for your

practice and your presence here with us.

And just inviting you now to

settle in for today's meditation.
