S U M M A R Y

The uncertainty that is associated with change can often be a source of stress and anxiety, and we may shy away from dealing with any potential negative emotions associated with it. Join our host Sowmithree in exploring a body, mind and soul meditation that guides you through sitting with and acknowledging your feelings, reframing your circumstances, and affirming your ability to handle things that come your way. We hope this helps serve as a starting point to assuaging any fears you may have about change!

Opening Quote:

  • “As you begin to befriend your inner silence, one of the first things you will notice is the superficial chatter on the surface level of your mind. Once you recognize this, the silence deepens. A distinction begins to emerge between the images that you have of yourself and your own deeper nature.” - John O’Donohue
