With so much going on in the world right now, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Each and every one of us is affected by what’s happening.

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.

Today’s meditation is a practice of creating space in our lives. We practice cultivating a space of refuge in our busy lives amidst all the challenging and difficult things happening in our world. In this space of refuge we can just leave everything at the door and just be with ourselves in this moment.

We begin this meditation by intentionally leaving everything at the door and we connect with how you are feeling in this moment in your body, mind and heart.

After some time resting in this space of refuge we transition into some loving kindness, compassion practice for ourselves, those affected by the recent gun violence and then all beings.

I hope you find it helpful. Please subscribe for more meditations and inspiring interviews.

This guided meditation was recorded during our weekly community meditation on Fridays at 2:30 pm ET. We’d love for you to join us live for a short meditation and time to connect and ask questions. You can sign up at mindfulfire.org/meditate (http://mindfulfire.org/meditate) .
