A Meditation to Create Inner Balance in the Face of Change

Change of any kind—whether it's small, momentous, expected or unexpected—can make us feel so vulnerable and unsteady.

This week, Susan Bauer-Wu offers a guided meditation to invite and nourish inner strength in the face of change.

Susan Bauer-Wu, PhD, is a registered nurse and nursing educator, as well as a mindfulness teacher and researcher. She is president of the Mind & Life Institute and author of Leaves Falling Gently: Living Fully with Serious & Life-Limiting Illness through Mindfulness, Compassion & Connectedness.

The transcription of this guided meditation will be online and in our app at Mindful.org next week.
