LISTEN NOW: ITUNES // SPOTIFY // STITCHER

Thank you Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza for producing this podcast!!

How do you seek God when you don’t know if you believe the way you used to?

How do you move forward in your faith when it feels like it’s in shambles? 

How do you experience God outside of Sunday church? 

I’m no expert, but I would love to offer you a few meditations and prayers that have been a lifeline for me over the past few years. The next three episodes of TRC will be guided meditations. First up was meditation for burnout (listen here). This week, my friend Jackie Viramontez will be guiding us through a meditation for anxiety. 

In a moment, we’re going to move from the spinning of our mind to the stillness of our heart. If it feels nourishing, place one hand on the heart and one hand on the low belly. 

Allow the palms to face skyward in an invitation of openness to something new. Allow the breath to expand. Let your tongue rest on the bottom of your mouth. Let your shoulders soften.

What if every inhale was a chance to observe how we’re carrying the weight of responsibility that was never ours to carry? Every exhale, an opportunity to surrender what was never ours to control.

Breathe in for 6. Breathe into the part of you that needs it most. Breathe out and feel the support of everyone else who feels the anxiety you feel.

That’s all for now— make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast on iTunes or Spotify so you get notified when next week’s meditation is live.
