#791: How to Feel at Peace Amidst High Stress — Guided Meditation with Zen Master Henry Shukman

This Meditation Monday episode, a short guided meditation series, focuses on stress management techniques. The episode introduces a method for recognizing stress in the body by noticing physical sensations like tension or heat in the torso. The guided meditation encourages listeners to acknowledge these sensations without judgment, fostering a sense of self-compassion and acceptance. Henry Shukman, the meditation teacher, suggests that welcoming these feelings, rather than trying to eliminate them, increases one's capacity for self-awareness and kindness. Listeners learn a practical technique to manage stress by focusing on bodily sensations and responding with self-compassion.
