Meditation: Listening to our Heart (22:52 min)

In this guided meditation, we are invited into a gentle, receptive presence—listening not only to sound, but to the living experience of our body and heart. Through mindful awareness of breath, sensation, and the changing flow of experience, we begin to soften into a deeper intimacy with life just as it is. As attention opens and relaxes, this practice supports us in meeting whatever arises—pleasant or difficult—with tenderness and compassion. We learn to listen beneath the surface, allowing the heart to reveal its longings, fears, and quiet wisdom. In this listening presence, there is healing, lightness, and a sense of coming home to ourselves. This meditation includes a reflective reading from John O'Donohue, reminding us of the heart's deep sensitivity and the transformative power of truly listening within. This meditation is suitable for: ✨ Beginners and experienced meditators ✨ Reducing stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm ✨ Cultivating self-compassion and inner calm ✨ Deepening body awareness and present-moment presence ✨ Anyone seeking to reconnect with the wisdom of the heart   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
