Balanced Mind With Julie Potiker

Sit back and sink into this healing meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "Limitation", by Marie Marchand, from her book, "Mostly Sweet, Lovely, Human Things".This version ends with music allowing you to drift off into sleep.Limitation, by Marie Marchand"I closed my mouth and spoke to youin a hundred silent ways." - RUMIWords, although powerful and sometimes sacredare not the answer.This is hard for a poet to say.Words are sign posts, doorwaysto connection and the type of connectionthat reminds youof who you really are is usually found in silence.Language may accompany you to thatthreshold of inevitabilitybut then you must walk bravelypast the familiarity of forminto the negative space that awaits.Poets can bring you only so farbefore your imagination must take the wheelbefore your own soulmust drive to the shoreline alone wherethe only sounds are wavesand birds and the solaceof surrender.-Marie MarchandFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life
