The uncertainty that is associated with change can often be a source of stress and anxiety, and we may shy away from dealing with any potential negative emotions associated with it. Join our host Sowmithree in exploring a body, mind and soul meditation that guides you through sitting with and acknowledging your feelings, reframing your circumstances, and affirming your ability to handle things that come your way. We hope this helps serve as a starting point to assuaging any fears you may have about change!
