Steadiness Before the Storm

A grounding meditation for moments of rising tension, helping you stay steady without denial.

In times of rising geopolitical tension including the possibility of a wider war in the Middle East and potential escalation with Iran.

Anxiety can move quickly through the collective nervous system. This guided meditation offers a way to stay grounded without denial, and alert without spiraling.

A practice in steadiness before we know what comes next. Closing with words from Israeli poet Leah Goldberg on the quiet courage of waiting.
