EXPERIENCE
the healing power of mindfulness.
In life, we are often confronted with situations that can seem hopeless or overwhelming. Even daily challenges can take a toll. Every one of us needs strength, stability, and resilience to weather the ebb and flow of changing events and circumstances. There is nothing we can do to ensure smooth sailing every single day – we cannot stop the waves in the ocean. But what we can do, is build a stronger boat that can carry us through life’s biggest waves! Taking time to slow down, settle in, and tune-in to the moment has been shown to provide relief from depression, anxiety, and other challenges, as well as build resilience over time. Take the first step – listen to a guided meditation, and let the peace and calm of this moment fill you up, and strengthen your boat. Recorded with love and care by Mary Waldon, PhD, LCSW.
