Song “Breathing in breathing out“.
Lyrics and the guided meditation:
Breathing in, breathing out Breathing in, breathing out I am blooming as a flower I am fresh as the dew I am solid as a mountain I am firm as the earth I am free Breathing in, breathing out I am water reflecting What is clear, what is true And I feel there is space Deep inside of me I am free, I am free, I am free
Song “I entrust myself to the earth“.
Song “Arrived arrived“.
The words of the guided meditation:
I have arrived, I am home
In the here, in the now
I am solid, I am free
In the ultimate I dwell

The Buddha taught about life’s suffering—known as ‘dukkha’—and how our personal, social and global issues can weigh us down.

When our physical energy feels restless or flat, it becomes harder to meet our inner experience with care and attention.
