They'll help you find the skillful balance of concentration and relaxation that results in a finely attuned state of ease that will stay with you long after you get off the cushion.

When we feel alone, cut off, or trapped, we can let those difficulties steer us onto a path toward an authentic, flourishing life—living in a way that allows us to find the wholeness that lies within. Even when we’re alone, a sense of community can accompany us through the stormy times. Our words, hearts, and actions can line up with a larger vision, rather than the smaller views our anxious, fearful thoughts arouse in us. To live in a less constricted way—Salzberg says we need to get real about what’s most important.

When we seek comfort and relief from stress, Tara Brach teaches, we often unconsciously turn to false refuges such as material wealth, approval from others, or a preoccupation with the past and future. Yet by cultivating true refuge in this moment, not only can we find shelter from the storms of life but we also open ourselves up to fully experiencing joy and fulfillment. Here, Tara Brach guides a meditation using the therapeutic R.A.I.N. process for releasing fear and healing through self-compassion.

When the world feels too overwhelming and trauma seems more present than past, we can all use a little help sometimes. With these guided meditations, a clear mind and inner peace are within reach. Mindfulness is more than a buzzword. In meditation, it is more than having an empty mind or even letting your thoughts wander at will. To be truly mindful is to give attention to yourself and your surroundings, and harness that awareness to create an environment of self-love, acceptance, and understanding.

We tend to think of faith as a commodity you either have or you don't. But in many of the world's wisdom traditions, faith isn't something you possess; it's something you do. "Faith is a willingness to take the next step, to see the unknown as an adventure, to launch a journey," teaches Sharon Salzberg. Now this beloved meditation teacher and author shares her unique understanding of faith, distinguishing it from belief and dogma, to help you cultivate this profound force in your life.

When we feel alone, cut off, or trapped, we can let those difficulties steer us onto a path toward an authentic, flourishing life—living in a way that allows us to find the wholeness that lies within. Even when we’re alone, a sense of community can accompany us through the stormy times. Our words, hearts, and actions can line up with a larger vision, rather than the smaller views our anxious, fearful thoughts arouse in us. To live in a less constricted way—Salzberg says we need to get real about what’s most important.

Best meditation audio I've found so far
Simple 20 minute meditation. I have several meditation audios, but this is the one I use. I'm amazed how difficult it is to quiet my mind. Once I do, I feel much more focused and alert. Sharon Salzberg has a good voice for this type of audio, and she has the right balance of explaining what to do, and then being quiet to so you can practice.

A good recording for beginning meditators. Ms. Salzerg's voice is soothing. It's a guided meditation without annoying music.

The way in which Sharon guides the meditation makes it very relaxed, easy to stay in it, enjoyable. I can start a meditation space at any time of the day. Specially at night, trying to fall asleep, I follow the breath trying to keep the thunder of thoughts and ideas out.

best way to wait at VA
I listen and relisten to this practice. VA hospital waiting rooms are not the most relaxing place.
But this is better than anxiety meds.
