Breathing In What You Need Meditation 21:40

21:40

Use your breath to focus on what you need right now - through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with her poem, "11 minutes". 11 minutes, by Julie Potiker The Karmine Line, invisible. But real enough to draw a boundary between us and what's beyond. At 62 miles the air gives up its grip and Blue Origin, that sleek silver wish, carries six women through suborbital space into weightlessness. 11 minutes, a life can turn inside that. 11 minutes, enough to change how the soul spells home. And when they landed they brought space back in their eyes. I watched video of them landing how they must have looked at the trees, the grass, and each other differently as if the whole world had shifted just slightly toward kindness. I wish I could go, feel the silence, see the curve of the earth with my own eyes. But that journey isn't mine. Not this lifetime. Instead, I breathe into the knowing. We are made of stardust, bones, breath, memory already part of the vastness, already connected to everything. Space isn't only up there. It lives in here. -Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Join Julie Potiker as she leads you through this Classic Metta Meditation. She completes the meditation with her poem, "March on Meadowbrook Road". March, on Meadowbrook Road, by Julie Potiker. Down the way from the old Triumph mine, Narrow-leaf Willow, a rust-colored and wild, leans into the breeze. Rubber Rabbit-brush waits in stillness, not yet yellow - there's room here for what takes time. Basin Wild Rye a parchment scrap from last year's book, whispers its end in a papery rush. Between patches of snow, soft ground starts to look like something breathing. My boots sink low - just enough to remind me there's life below, waiting to rise, quiet as roots, steady and slow, without need for applause. Chickadees gossip - Black-capped, mountain, in stereo tones stitched through the trees, voices bright. A Northern Flicker taps at Aspens, bare as bones. Does it know the language that flows beneath this frost? Roots that spill messages deep, a network unseen holding hands in sleep. And I stand there, Stetson tipped just right, letting the sun do what it does best - warm my cheek. It says: you're here and so is spring. And that's enough. More than enough, I think. -Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Find compassion for yourself and those around you through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "The Return of Hearts and Minds", by James Crews. The Return of Hearts and Minds, by James Crews I wake before dawn this morning to live inside the quiet, to feast on the dark bread of the possible. The house breathes on its own, though no footsteps stamp the floor above, no doors slam shut, and nothing stirs outside except for the masked raccoon, hungry eyes glowing green. I know who I am in these small hours, and watch for signs that daylight is finally coming, spreading like a blue ink that brightens the sky instead of darkening it. This early, I imagine the hearts and minds of everyone who gave them up the day before, tossed out as easy as paper crumpled on the floor, suddenly returned to them, compassion flowing into each of us like an IV drip, like fresh light meeting our eyes with the chance to begin again. —James Crews Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Relax into this meditation -- as you breathe in compassion. Julie Potiker completes the meditation with her poem, "Joy has Four Legs and Doesn't Ask for Permission". Joy has Four Legs and Doesn’t Ask for Permission, by Julie Potiker No one told them about wars or the price of eggs. Mutts and pure breeds of every flavor run without hesitation, as if the world has always been this open, this forgiving. Wellington leaps and sprints with every dog chasing a ball Madeline rolls her old bones in the wet sand. One black lab charges the waves with a Frisbee in his mouth, another digs fiercely – sand flying above his head - both entirely certain of their purpose. Just now. Just wind. Just sand and salt and the miracle of tails wagging. Nothing in them resists the day. The heaviness in my chest loosens, This is how healing looks— wild, sandy, and grinning. -Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

In this guided meditation you will focus on peace, love, and compassion. Julie Potiker competes her meditation with the poem, Prayer, by James Crews. "Prayer", by James Crews I ask for just the slightest shift in my thinking, the kindest sifting of my busy mind so only wonder and peace are left behind. So that as I walk in sleet on this spring morning I can see even these muddy ruts made by careless trucks on the forest trail as harbors of miracle, knowing they will fill with enough snow melt and rain for tadpoles to swim in come summer, until that sunlit instant when they feel the flexing of legs in the water beneath them, and leap out onto the ground, their bodies having decided, by instinct alone, to be soft and alive in this world. -Prayer, by James Crews.

Relax into this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Sunflower", by James Crews. Sunflower, by James Crews "Joy is not made to be a crumb." Mary Oliver once wrote, but isn't that how it often shows up at first? One crumb of attention, then another, and another until you're able to follow the trail leading to the volunteer sunflower you hadn't noticed blooming by the garden. "Volunteer," we say, meaning no human hand nestled that seed in the ground, though the same could be said of joy too, which seems to spring up out of nowhere when you see the face of the flower the French call tournesol , meaning "turned toward the sun." And don't we each carry a small sun in our chests that tells us where to turn, where it's warm, where something bright has struggled up out of the earth, and is now calling our name? -Sunflower, by James Crews.

Using your breathe ease into this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "Awe", by James Crews. Awe It's a shiver that climbs the trellis of the spine each tingle a bright white morning glory bursting into blossom beneath the skin. It can happen anywhere, anytime, even finding a sleeve of ice worn by a branch all morning, now fallen on a bed of snow. You can choose to pause, pick it up, hold that cold thing in your hand or not. Few tell us that wonder and awe are decisions we make daily, hourly minute by minute in the tiny offices of the heart, tilting the head to look up at every tree turned into a chandelier by light striking ice in just the right way. - Awe, by James Crews Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

This guided meditation may be just what you need today. Julie Potiker completes the meditation with the poem, "The Most Important Thing", by Julia Fehrenbacher. The Most Important Thing, by Julia Fehrenbacher I am making a home inside myself. A shelter of kindness where everything is forgiven, everything allowed—a quiet patch of sunlight to stretch out without hurry, where all that has been banished and buried is welcomed, spoken, listened to—released. A fiercely friendly place I can claim as my very own. I am throwing arms open to the whole of myself—especially the fearful, fault-finding, falling apart, unfinished parts, knowing every seed and weed, every drop of rain, has made the soil richer. I will light a candle, pour a hot cup of tea, gather around the warmth of my own blazing fire. I will howl if I want to, knowing this flame can burn through any perceived problem, any prescribed perfectionism, any lying limitation, every heavy thing. I am making a home inside myself where grace blooms in grand and glorious abundance, a shelter of kindness that grows all the truest things. I whisper hallelujah to the friendly sky. Watch now as I burst into blossom. - The Most Important Thing, by Julia Fehrenbacher Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Rain is coming, there’s a damp chill as I zip my down jacket, tuck my slippered feet under me in my favorite listening chair under the eaves. Bewick Wrens, tail up, are chirping and trilling in the green leafy branches of the carob trees. When one drops down onto the bricks, I get a close look of his plump little body. I’d love to hold him in my upturned palm. Orange Crowned Warbler gives me the same maternal pang. I’m watching a small one flick leaves off the branches, hearing the thwack as leaf hits bricks. Song Sparrow and House Finch are close - perhaps in the trees near the empty feeders. I’ve paused their food on the recommendation of experts to minimize the risk of bird flu. The white plastic seed container with the twist on lid sits untouched on the stone counter, surrounded by a dozen Mexican limes that let go from the tree above. Spotted Towhee takes over the airwaves as it begins to drizzle. It’s a sound unmistakably his, a sort of twisted croak/trill. Coffee cold now, I duck inside for a fresh hot brew. -February 11, 2025, by Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

In this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker you will focus on a being who brings you joy - and then move into classic loving kindness phrases. She completes her meditation with the poem, "Dream Life", by Billy Collins. Dream Life, by Billy Collins Whenever I have a dream about Poetry, which is not very often considering how much I think about her, she appears as a seamstress who works in the window of a tailor's shop in a section of a provincial city laden with a grey and heavy sky. I know the place so well I could find the dimly lit shop without asking anyone for directions, though the streets are mostly empty, except when I saw a solitary man looking in the window of a butcher's, his hands in the pockets of his raincoat. Poetry works long hours and rarely speaks to the tailor as she bends to repair the fancy costumes of various allegorical figures who were told by Thrift how little she charges. Maybe the ermine collar on the robe of Excess has come loose or a rip in the gown of Abandon needs mending, and no questions will be asked about how that came to pass. A little bell over the door rings whenever a customer enters or leaves, but Poetry is too busy thinking about her children as she replaces a gold button on the blazer of Pride.

I replied, That’s what the trees say too. I inhaled with my still warm body, asked for guidance. Let go, they said. Keep going.

Breathe in and visualize a Hanukkah candle - lit with love, glowing. Julie Potiker completes the meditation with the poem, "The Back of Our Hands", by Annette Friend. "The Back of Our Hands," by Annette Friend. My nephew's afternoon wedding in upgraded Jersey City - a rose covered Chuppah overlooks the sun-speckled Hudson River, the jagged NYC skyline. My granddaughter, six, sits on my lap, in a flowered pink dress, beige patent leather shoes with tiny bows, softly touches the back of my hand, traces brown liver spots, blue veins, red splotches of skin damaged by too much sun, baby oil slathered teenage skin at the Jersey Shore. Her pure, pink skin, unblemished, smooth as rose petals, in stark contrast to my time splattered covering. She maps the spots up and down my arm as if trying to decipher clues about my life. "What happened her?" she whispers, points to a thin white scar on my thumb. "Cut myself with a knife making latkes. I'll be more careful when I come to visit, and we make latkes for Hanukkah." Her pearly fingertips mark up my saggy arm, "Your skin is squishy like Jello, Granny A." I laugh, she giggles snuggling against me. Does it matter if my skin tells tales of time passing when she's here with me in the sunshine smiling on this happy, sparkling day? We watch the bride and groom parade back down the aisle to applause, the groom has finally smashed the glass after five tries. All Jewish celebrations are tinged with ancient adversity, the broken glass, some say, a reminder of the Temple we lost thousands of years ago When I was young these customs made me shrug my shoulders, annoyed, we Jews can never just kick up our heels, relax and enjoy. Now my skin proclaims me an old relic as I watch fresh young lives around me begin to bloom, I realize stories of the past show us our strength, the beauty and pain all of our history contains, the past entwined in all the moments that we are alive, part of a tradition that teaches us how to survive. In this moment, the past, the present, the young and the old, the sun sets, yet rises, on a new marriage, and our two hands, my granddaughters and mine, side by side woven in gold.

Considering Poetry, by Julie Potiker No furrowing of brows Nor squinting of ears I like the message to ripple on clear fresh water Perhaps a river stream Flowing over stones smoothed by the ages Perhaps more rhythmically Dynamically The pull of the moon Stacking up the sea As it breathes in and out In and out Never ending Creating the sand Drenching it with gifts Enduring through time -Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Right now, in this moment, what is it you need to hear? Julie Potiker helps you focus on that question through this guided meditation. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Reciting Poems to Each Other in a Difficult Time", by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Reciting Poems to Each Other in a Difficult Time, by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer It might have looked as if we stayed in our respective squares— nine separate rooms made of pixels— but for an hour the poems we shared leaped through the screen and into our bloodstream until all our lines were gloriously blurred and our wounds were gently tended by the medicine of Berry’s day-blind stars and Wellwood’s ferocious dance of no hope, Hopkins’s shining from shook foil and Roethke’s wondering Which I is I? In another time, there would have been a fire at the center. Someone would play a drum. But in this time, I felt it inside me, the fire, as poems blazed to meet the great cold. I felt it inside me, the human drum, that reminds me the heart beats not for itself, but the world. For an hour we spooned each other the honey of poetry. Alone now, I still taste it, unfiltered and raw, this astonishing sweetness on my lips, this salt of lyric communion, still feel the warmth of that blaze, the spark still dazzling in the dark. –Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer from A Hundred Falling Veils Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Enter the holiday season and finish the year with gratitude and thankfulness - for those who helped you throughout your life. Who has helped you become the person you are today? Breathe in acknowledgment of their contribution to your life's journey - breathe out thankfulness. Julie Potiker completes her meditation with the poem, "Thank You", by Ross Gay. Thank You, by Ross Gay. If you find yourself half naked and barefoot in the frosty grass, hearing, again, the earth's great, sonorous moan that says you are the air of the now and gone, that says all you love will turn to dust, and will meet you there, do not raise your fist. Do not raise your small voice against it. And do not take cover. Instead, curl your toes into the grass, watch the cloud ascending from your lips. Walk through the garden's dormant splendor. Say only, thank you. Thank you. -Thank You, by Ross Gay Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Open your heart to compassion through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "So I Can't Save the World", by —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer "So I Can't Save the World", by —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer So I can’t save the world— can’t save even myself, can’t wrap my arms around every frightened child, can’t foster peace among nations, can’t bring love to all who feel unlovable. So I practice opening my heart right here in this room and being gentle with my insufficiency. I practice walking down the street heart first. And if it is insufficient to share love, I will practice loving anyway. I want to converse about truth, about trust. I want to invite compassion into every interaction. One willing heart can’t stop a war. One willing heart can’t feed all the hungry. And sometimes, daunted by a task too big, I ask myself, What’s the use of trying? But today, the invitation is clear: to be ridiculously courageous in love. To open the heart like a lilac in May, knowing freeze is possible and opening anyway. To take love seriously. To give love wildly. To race up to the world as if I were a puppy, adoring and unjaded, stumbling on my own exuberance. To feel the shock of indifference, of anger, of cruelty, of fear, and stay open. To love as if it matters, as if the world depends on it. —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

This meditation led by Julie Potiker focuses on our connection to others. We are the light, we are connected, and we are the helpers. She completes the meditation with the poem, " Look for the Helpers", by James Crews. "Look for the Helpers", by James Crews Today, I will look for the helpers-the woman pouring sunflower seeds from an orange bag into the feeder, and a chickadee, having eaten its fill, lifting off so another can feast there. Someone holding open the fogged-over door of the coffee shop for a stranger who smiles and says thank you in spite of the news. I will watch workers dressed in neon vests with shovels and buckets, filling potholes across the city, the asphalt steaming as they spread it over the street, then tamp it down, repairing what they can. -"Look for the Helpers", by James Crews Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Using your breath, breathe in peace and hope through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "Hope", by Lisel Mueller. "Hope", by Lisel Mueller It hovers in dark corners before the lights are turned on, it shakes sleep from its eyes and drops from mushroom gills, it explodes in the starry heads of dandelions turned sages, it sticks to the wings of green angels that sail from the tops of maples. It sprouts in each occluded eye of the many-eyed potato, it lives in each earthworm segment surviving cruelty, it is the motion that runs the tail of a dog, it is the mouth that inflates the lungs of the child that has just been born. It is the singular gift we cannot destroy in ourselves, the argument that refutes death, the genius that invents the future, all we know of God. It is the serum which makes us swear not to betray one another; it is in this poem, trying to speak. -Hope, by Lisel Mueller Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Find a quiet place to settle into your own stillness through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Natural Silence", by James Crews. Natural Silence, by James Crews It's not easy to find the silence behind traffic noise and the rush of a jet dragging its contrails through the sky. But here it is again in the in-between, when I learn to listen long enough to the call-and-response of birdsong, to wind pulsing in the canopies of trees, and every wing-flutter of the phoebe who's built her cup of a nest out of moss and mud beneath the eaves of our house. I know the stillness will last for just a few beats before the roar of a Harley takes over, and a tractor rumbles through the rocky field outside my window. So I sink into it while I can, as I do into water so clean and clear, for a moment at least I swear I can see to the bottom of everything. -Natural Silence, by James Crews (from "Unlocking the Heart; Writing for Mindfulness, Courage, and Self-Compassion", by James Crews).

While sitting in quiet meditation - bring in phrases of loving kindness to yourself; may I be safe, may I be happy, and may I find moments of ease. Julie Potiker completes the meditation with the poem, "Choices", by James Crews. "Choices", by James Crews You can grieve the leaves stripped from the maple, all that empty space between bare branches, or you can bless the abundance of light shining through, buffing the pine boards of the floor until they turn the color of clover honey. You can mourn the cone-flowers now shriveled and brown, say the whole world’s gone to ruin, or you can stand at the window watching the lively yellow blossom of a goldfinch feasting on each crown of seeds, sending more than a few back home, down into the open ground, which knows how to receive them. —James Crews Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Take some time to slow down your mind and your body - as you sit, relax and breath through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with her poem, "Self-Care." "Self-Care", by Julie Potiker Self-care is in my spine, stamped in my vertebrae after a decade of teaching mindful self-compassion. It keeps my skeleton fro collapsing in a heap on the earth when disaster strikes. It raises me a little taller when joy, awe, or ecstasy bursts out of me like a hose aimed at a five-alarm fire. It saved my life, this practice of seeing and allowing all of me, the jagged and sticky bits included. It orients me to a wider lens, my feet in other shoes, with an impulse to help, if i can. The nuts-and-bolts change based on circumstance, but there are constraints - the breath, feet rooted on solid ground, hand on heart, prayers spooling out, connecting with people who love me and whom i love, and remembering I belong, I am enough, I am complete -- and so are you.

Slow down and connect to yourself and the beauty that surrounds around you through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Watson", by Julia Fehrenbacher. "Watson", by Julia Fehrenbacher. I'm pretty sure our new kitten things our middle-aged dog is his mama. At first, he hissed and made himself big whenever he saw her, but now he nestles into the warm curve of her belly and purrs. He even closes his eyes while she licks him clean. The other day, he helped himself into the pantry, and, I swear, tried to open the doggy jerky for his new mama. After dinner they chase balls and each other around the house until one of them has to lie down. Two entirely different species showing us what love looks like, teaching us how to hiss less, how to purr more. -"Watson", by Julia Fehrenbacher.

Compassion is the focus of this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. Breath in compassion for yourself - and out for others. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Komorebi," by James Crews. Komorebi, by James Crews For what must have been a full minute in the spacious eternity of an evening at the ragged end of summer, I stood in the kitchen as the sun dropped down behind the trees at the exact right place for it to dance, shadow and light, across the swirled grain of the maple counter. The Japanese call it komorebi , this play of sunshine breaking through the gaps in leaves, now dappling my hand as I reach for my mug of tea. One of those countless small miracles we seldom thing to name in English, a simple reward for laying down the knife and leaving a carrot half-chopped on the cutting board, to be heard for at least this one out of the 1440 minutes I was granted today. -Komorebi, by James Crews.
