Here’s an excerpt from a meditation that was part of my most recent podcast ‘first of all, check inward’ shared in the context of an upcoming virtual workshop I am hosting with Nicole Schiener @peaceandpossibility , Registered Psychotherapist and Compassion Fatigue Professional, ‘Caring Without Carrying It All.’

May you enjoy these almost 4 minutes to check inward and put ‘it’ all down and then return when you want to let go and put ‘it’ all down again.

Listen here

When the opportunity arises and you can take a moment to tune ‘it’ all out, if you so choose, maybe this brief meditation (almost four minutes) might resonate for you; a ‘time out’ to slow down, to let ‘it’ go, to momentarily put down the overwhelm. I acknowledge and honor where you may be, the experience you may be living, what you may be navigating, who you may be caring for in addition to yourself. May you feel ease, some relief and care for yourself and each other (those who you know and those who you do not yet know).

If we honor and care for your own capacity, would you agree that we make more room to care for and honor and ‘see’ others❓

May you find benefit. Wishing you the best.
Wishing you more peace inside. Praying for peace for all beings. ❤️🙏🌎

The title of this meditation shares the name of this 4 week virtual group program Nicole Schiener, (Registered Psychotherapist and Compassion Fatigue Professional), and I are hosting in February 2024 for Sensitive Changemakers, Helping Professionals, Caregivers and Creatives. @peaceandpossibility 😘
