Steady As She Goes

And a meditation for difficult times.

How can we use mindfulness and meditation when the world is changing so quickly?

It’s a big question, a good and important one—and the answer is an excellent reminder of why having a mindfulness practice is so valuable. It helps sustain us and provides a sense of stability when it feels like the ground is shifting beneath our feet, whether the shifts are of personal or global origin. Those of us in the United States are aware that this is a time of transition, so this is an especially fitting question for today.
