Between Stimulus and Response

There's a famous quote (often attributed to Viktor Frankl, although the source is unknown) that goes as follows, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." In this mindfulness meditation we explore finding and cultivating that space for better wellbeing. This recording is from a live online "Calm with Christoph" meditation session.  Just like my other mindfulness meditations, this recording has no background music. The purpose of this practice is not to “escape” to some imaginary world, but to learn how to bring your awareness back to the present moment and respond rather than react in life.  Please, DO NOT listen to any of this recording whilst driving or operating machinery, or when you need full attention on something else. If you feel uncomfortable in any way during the meditation it is advisable to stop the practice and consider trying again another time.
