A simple, short meditation to relax and focus on the next actionable things in your life. By releasing the things we cannot control and focusing on the places where to we do have influence, we can reduce stress and feel more present in our work and life.

I have this track downloaded so I can easily access it and listen to it as a grounding meditation almost daily. It can be really helpful when feeling overwhelmed at work or by life circumstances.

In this solo episode I take some time to share some insights from my own practice. These relate to the Buddhist concept of Right Speech including abstaining from false speech, abstaining from slanderous speech, abstaining from harsh speech, and abstaining from idle chatter.

The book that I reference in this episode is a great reference for those interested in Buddhism as a spiritual path or if you just want to explore some of the concepts for personal development. It is called The Noble Eightfold Path by Bhikkhu Bodhi: https://www.amazon.com/Noble-Eightfold-Path-Way-Suffering/dp/192870607X

Thanks for listening. 🙏

Bridget Lavin is a spiritual practitioner, previous yoga studio owner, and retreat leader. We sat down to talk shortly after she returned to Omaha, NE from completing her MSc of Science & Religion at The University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She now lives in Denver, CO.

We talk all things spiritual practices including how to let go (and what that even means) as well as the nuances of clinging to a particular practice as a form of suffering itself.

It was truly an enjoyable conversation that I hope you will enjoy too.
