Episode 66: The Practice of Meditation with the Unexpected

In this calming and reflective episode of The Ripple Effect of Wellbeing in Work and Life, Dawn Lehman guides listeners through A Practice of Meditation with The Unexpected, a gentle mindfulness experience designed to help us meet uncertainty with presence, compassion, and curiosity. Through grounding awareness, thoughtful pauses, and mindful reflection, Dawn invites listeners to notice how they relate to unexpected moments in life rather than resisting them. Whether you are navigating change, stress, transition, or simply seeking a moment to reconnect with yourself, this guided meditation offers space to slow down, breathe deeply, and build resilience for life’s unfolding moments. This practice reminds us that while we cannot always control what happens around us, we can cultivate awareness and steadiness within ourselves. Find a quiet space, settle in, and allow yourself these moments of reflection and renewal.
