Mountain Meditation for Staying Steady during Stressful Times

Stress is really an overused word and yet it is a defining aspect of our current, modern life. When you are in the loop of stress and constant thoughts, it is easy to forget that the calm, stable, mountain-like, steadiness is also within you, at that very moment, co-existing with the stress response.

You may feel completely caught up in thoughts, may not see a solution to your problems, your energy may be totally expended and your body may be fatigued. And yet you are the mountain, strong, stable and steady!

Both knowing and accessing this state while stressed can be difficult but here I am sharing with you a practice that will make it possible.

This is the practice of Mountain Meditation. Some of you who have been a part of our 8 week mindfulness meditation course have already experienced it.
