Surely you've heard someone say—or maybe even said yourself—”I don't know how she does it all.” Well, it's time to stop aspiring for that kind of praise.

The meditation ends with the poem "Sukkot: The Heart of the Sukkah", by Lesli Koppelman Ross.   Sukkot: The Heart of the Sukkah let the walls of my heart be easily moved as the walls of the Sukkah that sway in the wind let the roof of my heart be porous to tears as the roof of the Sukkah that lets in the rain let the space in my heart be open to guests as to Ushpizin who pass through each night let the beat of my heart be a vital reminder that life here is transient – a temporary dwelling let the walls, left unsealed, and the roof, with its lattice, frame the cracks that will let in the light   Get the latest by subscribing to Julie Potiker's YouTube channel and Facebook page at Mindful Methods for Life.

Visualize yourself on a mountain, surrounded by nature and using your all of your senses to breathe in the experience all around you. Julie Potiker takes you on this grounding journey ending with the poem,"When I Could Do Nothing", by Jane Hirshfield. The poem comes at a time when many of us are attempting to navigate our lives during a pandemic. This meditation was led virtually for the Balanced Mind Meditation Center. Today, When I Could Do Nothing Today, when I could do nothing, I saved an ant. It must have come in with the morning paper, still being delivered to those who shelter in place. A morning paper is still an essential service. I am not an essential service. I have coffee and books, time, a garden, silence enough to fill cisterns. It must have first walked the morning paper, as if loosened ink taking the shape of an ant. Then across the laptop computer — warm — then onto the back of a cushion. Small black ant, alone, crossing a navy cushion, moving steadily because that is what it could do. Set outside in the sun, it could not have found again its nest. What then did I save? It did not move as if it was frightened, even while walking my hand, which moved it through swiftness and air. Ant, alone, without companions, whose ant-heart I could not fathom — how is your life, I wanted to ask. I lifted it, took it outside. This first day when I could do nothing, contribute nothing beyond staying distant from my own kind, I did this.

I’m this guided meditation Julie Potiker observes Tisha B’av.  This meditation of healing and compassion wraps up with the poem “Kindness” by Naomi Shihab. (This was recorded for the Balanced Mind Meditation Center) "Kindness', by Naomi Shihab. Before you know what kindness really isyou must lose things,feel the future dissolve in a momentlike salt in a weakened broth.What you held in your hand,what you counted and carefully saved,all this must go so you knowhow desolate the landscape can bebetween the regions of kindness.How you ride and ridethinking the bus will never stop,the passengers eating maize and chickenwill stare out the window forever. Before you learn the tender gravity of kindnessyou must travel where the Indian in a white poncholies dead by the side of the road.You must see how this could be you,how he too was someonewho journeyed through the night with plansand the simple breath that kept him alive. Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.You must wake up with sorrow.You must speak to it till your voicecatches the thread of all sorrowsand you see the size of the cloth.Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,only kindness that ties your shoesand sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,only kindness that raises its headfrom the crowd of the world to sayIt is I you have been looking for,and then goes with you everywherelike a shadow or a friend.

“You are the light...hold only love, only peace in your heart…” (John Lewis) In this guided meditation led for the Balanced Mind Meditation Center, Julie Potiker uses meditation to honor the late Congressman and civil rights leader. She uses his powerful words of peace, love and following your truth in this guided meditation.   “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant. Lean toward the whispers of your own heart, discover the universal truth, and follow its dictates. […] Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won. Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don't be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice. And if you follow your truth down the road to peace and the affirmation of love, if you shine like a beacon for all to see, then the poetry of all the great dreamers and philosophers is yours to manifest in a nation, a world community, and a Beloved Community that is finally at peace with itself.” ― John Lewis, Across That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of America Get the latest by subscribing to Julie Potiker's YouTube channel and Facebook page at Mindful Methods for Life.

In this guided meditation, Julie Potiker uses the image of a tree, its branches, and its roots, to help you find strength and compassion. Julie led this mindfulness meditation for the Balanced Mind Meditation Center. The meditation ends with the poem, "Compassion", by Miller Williams. "Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone."

Practice the Pause. In today's episode of Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker you'll hear how mindfulness can be a tool to get you through some stressful times and how mindfulness - it's not the same as meditation. Show notes: Your kids are arguing. Your boss calls you into an unexpected meeting after your report didn’t go well. You’re expected to attend the extended family dinner for your sister’s milestone birthday, but you know exactly what kind of drama tends to ensue. Whatever your next “oh, sh*t” moment might be, there’s a tool for that: mindfulness. What is mindfulness? It’s not worrying and not ruminating. We’re wired to ruminate and worry because we’re primates, and that’s what has kept us alive all these millennia, but mindfulness is the opposite of that. It’s being in the moment and knowing what you’re doing when you’re doing it. And, for the record, it’s not the same as meditating, even though you can combine the two and do a mindfulness meditation – which I highly recommend trying! Mindfulness gives you an opportunity to practice the pause. Instead of going instantly into fight, flight, or freeze mode and drowning in your own reactivity, practice the pause. When you pause, you’ll be able to make a more skillful response. So next time you’re headed into a situation that is likely filled with emotional chaos, set an intention to pause. Know in your body in advance what you’re likely to encounter, then in the moment, feel your feelings from the place of an observer. “Oh, that’s anxiety. Oh, that’s anger. Oh, I feel like I can’t take this another minute.” Practice the pause and become the observer, and you’ll create space to choose your response rather than autopilot right into reactivity. Practice mindfulness even when you don’t need it, so you have it handy when you do.

EPISODE: 006 Just breath and allow yourself to become gently aware of how it feels to be in your body right now as you listen to Julie Potiker guide you through this Loving Kindness for Ourselves meditation. You’ll be focusing on you - offering yourself words or phrases that fit your needs at this moment. If you’re suffering in anyway and want compassion you may bring the phrase, “May I be free from suffering” to mind. If you’re feeling fabulous the phrase might be “May I be happy".
