Being Moved Being Moved

An exploration into becoming more comfortable with risk, seeing how we can use mindfulness to support and sustain us through the sometimes scary-feeling choices that we might make in order to keep our lives vibrant, vital and moving forwards. This meditation begins with an inspirational spoken section, exploring the benefits of taking regular risks towards our dreams and desires, examining how we can cultivate our internal courage and get over our fears of failure. It finishes up with a guided period of more formal meditation practice, taking time to tend to our own hearts as we navigate taking those next brave and bold steps forwards. "May I have the courage today To live the life that I would love, To postpone my dream no longer But do at last what I came here for And waste my heart on fear no more." -John O'Donohue

This episode is a short guided meditation to put us in contact with what matters most in life so that we might live fully and love well. In this practice, we will make space to listen inwards – not just so that we might settle our minds – but also so that we can purposely make our lives more meaningful. In this practice, we will ask “what do I want from life” and we will also ask the more receptive contemporary koan question of “what does life want from me”. We will access the wisdom found deep within each of us.
