#106 Strong Back, Soft Front Guided Meditation
This month's practice features an embodied mediation to help you stay present with life's challenges without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.
Inspired by Roshi Joan Halifax's teachings, you'll cultivate a foundation of stability to underpin your capacity for openness and compassion.
This meditation includes several periods of silence of around 3-6 minutes. The guidance assumes you're sitting (chair or cushion are fine) so that you can experience the support of the spine.
The practice starts at 2:43 after a brief talk. If your player supports chapter markers, you can skip ahead.
