Dear friends, a disclaimer on this morning’s meditation: if you are feeling satisfied with the results of the US election, respectfully, this week’s meditation will not meet you where you are. Please tread with care.
This morning is an invitation to mourn. To rest. To feel into whatever is arising within you — grief, disappointment, fear, anger, exhaustion, and also love.
Because practice teaches us not to override or bypass or numb, but to offer loving attention to what’s here; to allow ourselves a generous space to feel; to ache with the force of hope defrayed; to seek refuge where we can; and to pray for our common good, our humanity, our commonweal.
This meditation session offers a compassionate space to honor and sit with complex emotions that may be arising after the recent U.S. election.
Together, we explore grief, disappointment, exhaustion, and even moments of hope through gentle, mindful presence.
This guided practice encourages us to pause, breathe deeply, and feel fully without bypassing or numbing what’s present.
With grounding gestures and words of loving-kindness, we reconnect to our deeper sources of resilience and prepare ourselves to move forward when ready, rooted in shared humanity and compassion.
