When you're in the sh*t storm

7-min centering meditation gift

Life can feel like one storm after another sometimes. It's hard not to be swept up in the chaos of it all. And it’s often not the storm itself causing all the damage—it’s our reactions to it. I once read something that said the real danger in tornados is not just the twister, but the debris flying around.

Meditation teaches us how to anchor inwards and find peace even when everything outside of us is swirling and violent. As the inimitable Pema Chödrön says:

You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.

By visualizing ourselves at the center of a storm, we can learn how to anchor and ground regardless of the swirling around us.

Storms and the weather are just seasons and seasons change. Let’s tap into that steady place inside of all of us that is unchanging. That place of awareness. That place of blue sky.

This 7-minute meditation will help you tap into that place.
