Mindfulness, Spirituality & Resilience

Finding a Little More Space

A short guided meditation for moments when part of you is still on alert.

When life feels uncertain, it can be difficult to truly let your guard down. Even when the body is still, a part of you may still be watching, anticipating, holding on.

This meditation invites you to notice that vigilance without trying to push it away. To soften around tension, create a little more space for what you’re carrying, and reconnect with the feeling of being here, now.

There is nothing to achieve and nothing to prove. Just a few minutes to breathe, soften, and return to what matters from a little more space.

Created by RAW with Anouk Lorie, an Israeli podcast exploring trauma, resilience, healing, and the human experience after October 7.

“Only good content I could find regarding the subject of war”

I am Persian and it has been a year since I don’t feel myself anymore, it’s like I’m stuck in some kind of a never ending nightmare that feels numb at times which is even worse. Even when I sleep, I see myself trapped in destroyed areas and the sound of the fighters hovering above. I am more than exhausted. What makes everything worse is this uncertainty that lingers on..
