May I Be Safe, May You Be Safe, May We All Be Safe Meditation Practice

There is a collective sense of grieving at the moment. With the COVID-19 virus impacting so many communities world-wide, most of us are not only grieving our sense of normalcy and everyday routines but we are also grieving our jobs, family and friends we have lost due to the virus. We may also be grieving physical touch, a stable income and special life events we can't attend to due to physical distancing. 

Right now, at this very moment, there is a sense of loss and uncertainty that is looming in the air. 

Like many of you, I am impacted by this pandemic. I've recently experienced a temporary layoff like so many people world-wide. 

At times, I've felt scared and overwhelmed by the rapid changes this virus has brought on in my life. I know I'm not alone and in some way, I'm comforted by the fact that we are all in this together. 

For my own personal practice, I've been making a genuine effort to lower my own stress. I'm making a point to embody a sense of safety and grounding in my body. 

I created this loving-kindness meditation practice because I know that more than ever, we need to stand united in our compassion for ALL sentient beings. 

It is tough because when we are stressed, our narrowed thinking comes in and prevents us from seeing other people's suffering but our own. 

I hope this practice helps you to feel a sense of safety but also to help you see that the safety of others is inherently connected to your own. 



~Stay safe and healthy everyone. Till next time.
