Balanced Mind With Julie Potiker

Julie Potiker leads you through a Tibetan Buddhist meditation known as Tonglen. During this practice you will breathe in the pain and suffering of yourself and others and then exhale compassion and healing. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "Another Daily Disaster," by Jessica Kantrowitz.Another Daily DisasterI see you.You who were just getting your feet backunder youwhen disaster struckMaybe a small, commonplace disasterbut enough to ruin sleepraise blood pressureshift things from almost okayto not okay at all.It was just when you thought you hada little breathing room wasn't it?Just then.I see you, nowstruggling to breathethrough another daily disaster.by Jessica Kantrowitz, from Blessings for the Long Night, Poems and Meditations to Help You through Depression.Get the latest on mindfulness and meditation by subscribing to Julie Potiker's YouTube channel and Facebook page at Mindful Methods for Life.
