12 Minute Meditation

This week, Rose Felix Cratsley leads us in a meditation to pause and honor equity—a practice that invites us to celebrate the power of slowing down together. Pausing offers us a chance to reflect on what it means to belong, to trust in the strength of renewal, and to hold space for healing. It’s a moment to connect with ourselves and each other, recognizing the profound impact of small, intentional breaths as steps toward creating a more inclusive and equitable world.

This guided meditation from Dr. Mark Bertin reminds us that we don’t have to pretend everything is fine or be calm all the time. Instead, being mindful in difficult times can look like carving out a moment to settle before we decide what comes next. This is a walking meditation that supports us in cultivating a balanced perspective. While we accept what we can’t change right now, we can also choose our next steps from a place of compassion and wisdom. Stay curious, stay inspired.

This week, Angela Stubbs gently guides us inward, helping us explore these patterns with compassion and kindness. Through six stages, she invites us to bring awareness to these feelings, accepting ourselves without judgment and affirming our worth. With each stage, we cultivate a sense of warmth and resilience, creating space to move beyond self-doubt and reconnect with our inner strength. This practice offers us a chance to release the hold of self-criticism, embracing a more gentle, patient approach toward ourselves. Stay curious, stay inspired.

This week, Frank Ostaseski guides us through a meditation that invites us to let curiosity lead. Life doesn’t always bring what we desire—instead, it can deliver pain, uncertainty, and even sorrow. While we can’t always change these circumstances or the emotions that arise with them, we can choose to meet them with an open curiosity. When we do, we create space to welcome, or at least acknowledge, whatever comes our way. This openness helps us release the added suffering that often follows tough moments, reminding us that while life’s challenges are inevitable, the suffering we add to them is optional.
