When the News Is Too Much: A Meditation to Care and Still Rest

When the news lands heavy and there's nothing you can do. Breathe in what's hard, breathe out a wish for them to be safe.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice and music underneath.

We breathe in what's hard and breathe out a wish for people to be safe. It's a gentle form of Tonglen. First we notice where a headline landed in the body, then we breathe a little of that out for you too. Then we widen it. Somewhere someone is making a neighbour a cup of tea, and a nurse is starting her night shift. The fire gets the pictures, but the people carrying the water are out there too, millions of them. We end with three wishes, and the reminder that you can care and still rest.
