Breathing for Tension Release, Day 3: Breathing for Tension Release, Day 3: "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics" meditation series

Daily Meditation Podcast

Following yesterday's focus on external control, Day 2 guides us into the most powerful territory of all: our Inner Commentary.

Meditation on Happiness, Day 1: Meditation on Happiness, Day 1: "The Path to Happiness with the Stoics" meditation series

Daily Meditation Podcast

We kick off our new series, The Path to Happiness with the Stoics, by exploring the absolute foundation of emotional freedom: the distinction between the internal and the external world. So much of our daily exhaustion comes from carrying burdens that were never ours to hold—the unpredictable future, the actions of others, or the natural flow of events. Today, we invite a sense of deep relief into our meditation. We will practice drawing a gentle line in the sand, separating what we can influence from what we must simply witness. This isn't about giving up; it is about focusing your energy...

This session is an exercise in non-identification, gently releasing the habit of self-judgment that perpetuates suffering. We practice generating metta (loving-kindness) toward the self, shifting the inner landscape from a state of conflict to one of unconditional support. Discover how self-kindness is not passive surrender, but the true root of mental stability and effortless resilience.
