Weather Report

Look outside your window. What’s the weather like right now? Now, look inside yourself. What’s the weather within? Are you running hot or cold? Is the sun shining or is this a rainy day? Are your thoughts stormy or serene? And is your vitality shining brightly or hiding behind a few clouds?In this 14-minute guided meditation, we’ll consider our inner weather patterns. We’ll watch the energetic weather pass across the landscape of our bodies. We’ll sharpen our powers of perception to sense more clearly the sensations, feelings, thoughts and energies moving through our inner worlds.Seeing clearly helps us tend to the world with wisdom and compassion. Holding close to the truth of what is - whether we like what we find or not - allows us to make clear-eyed decisions about how to respond with ease to the ever-changing weather of our lives. Through this process, we begin to understand that happiness depends not on living in a world of perfect weather, but rather in knowing how to gracefully accommodate - and maybe even enjoy - whatever weather comes our way.
