The Still Waters Meditation

You do not have to hold everything in order to be held by life.

Still waters is a place visitors return to whenever they feel weary, anxious, or overwhelmed.

Rest beside the imagined waters, allow thoughts to rise and settle without struggling against them.

The sound of water

Optional: If you choose to include audio, the quiet movement of water against a shore or the sound of a gentle spring is favorable. Always, silence remains available.

Closing Blessing

May the waters carry away the urgency of this moment.

May what remains unfinished be allowed to rest.

May you return to your life gently,
remembering that you, too, are worthy of care.
