Take some time to slow down your mind and your body - as you sit, relax and breath through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with her poem, "Self-Care.""Self-Care", by Julie PotikerSelf-care is in my spine, stampedin my vertebrae after a decadeof teaching mindful self-compassion.It keeps my skeleton fro collapsingin a heap on the earth when disaster strikes.It raises me a little taller when joy, awe,or ecstasy bursts out of me like a hoseaimed at a five-alarm fire. It saved my life,this practice of seeing and allowing all of me,the jagged and sticky bits included.It orients me to a wider lens, my feetin other shoes, with an impulse to help,if i can. The nuts-and-bolts changebased on circumstance, but there areconstraints - the breath, feet rootedon solid ground, hand on heart, prayersspooling out, connecting with peoplewho love me and whom i love,and remembering I belong, I am enough,I am complete -- and so are you."Self-Care", by Julie PotikerFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".
