Happiness Break: Find Calm When You Can’t Clear Your Mind, With Lama Rod Owens

Take a break from ruminating with Lama Rod Owens as he leads you in a meditation to cultivate a sky-like mind.
How to Do This Practice:

•
Get Comfortable: Sit or lie down in a relaxed, balanced position.

•
Settle into Your Body: Notice how your body feels and allow yourself to settle.

•
Observe Your Thoughts: Watch thoughts and emotions rise and fall without judgment.

•
Visualize the Sky: Imagine your mind as a vast sky and your thoughts as passing clouds.

•
Detach from Thoughts: Say to yourself, “This is just an experience, passing through.”

•
Return to the Present: Shift your attention back to your body and the support beneath you.
