    A Guided Meditation on Hope, Values, and Presence Host Rain Elizabeth Stickney welcomes listeners to Every Moment Is Sacred, a podcast interweaving meditation and healing into everyday life. She shares ways to meditate together and then guides a meditation inviting playfulness and hope.

    Light & Self-Acceptance Every Moment Is Sacred is a podcast hosted by Rain Elizabeth Stickney, focusing on interweaving meditation and healing into everyday life. This episode offers a guided meditation that begins with encouraging listeners to get settled and consciously breathe, while reflecting on their own light and and the light they see around them.

Never let anyone – any person or any force – dampen, dim or diminish your light.” Listeners are invited to accept themselves fully, align with their values, and envision a world community of inclusivity and fairness. The episode also highlights various meditation offerings and retreats available through Stillwater Meditation.
