Inner peace isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s a real possibility. It’s not something that will happen at some future time, when we get all our ducks in a row. Neither is it a state of constant bliss or managing to avoid hardship.
Inner peace is a steady and growing sense of ease that can carry us through the unpredictability of life, moment by moment. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with guidance, practice, and support, inner peace is something we can cultivate.
This 25-minute guided meditation invites you to settle in—to find that balance of ease and alertness, to let the body breathe, and to simply know experience as it unfolds.
In both Buddhist practice and yoga, truthfulness (sacca or satya) is more than a moral guideline; it is a gateway to inner freedom.
When we commit to honesty in thought, speech, and action, we begin to dissolve the illusions that bind us. The more we align with truth, the clearer our perception becomes, allowing us to move through life with greater ease, trust, and wisdom.
Ethical self-discipline is developed in order to bring calm and quiet to the heart-mind and to reduce the harm we cause ourselves and others. When we act with an intention to benefit our future self, others or our environment, without greed or malice, it results in a ‘bright’ mind is that is composed, relaxed, sees clearly and is ready to benefit others.
Find a quiet place to lay down. Make your body as comfortable as possible. Relax and inquire into the nature of your being with this 60-minute guided session.
