Finding Steady Ground

These past weeks have been intense and disorienting for many of us.

A lot of uncertainty.
A lot of holding our breath.

I haven’t been able to record or release anything for RAW during this time.

Between the war in Israel, missiles landing near my home, and then leaving through Jordan with my children, everything felt too immediate, too full.

But I kept coming back to very simple practices – even just a few minutes at a time – to steady my body and mind.

This is a short guided meditation by Lama Tilmann Lhundrup, recorded during a conversation for RAW that I never released.

He is a highly respected Buddhist teacher trained in the Tibetan tradition, with many years of deep retreat and teaching.

I’m sharing it here on its own because it feels especially needed right now.


Other Meditations

As Israel approaches another election, it’s easy to find ourselves living a little too far into the future. Following the news, imagining different outcomes, worrying about what might come next.

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, meditation teacher Sandhya Bar Kama guides us through a short practice of metta, the Buddhist practice of loving-kindness.
