Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Meditation 2:32 Exploring Sacred Texts 6:58 Embracing the Bhagavad Gita 9:56 Comfort in the Psalms 11:07 Wisdom from the Upanishads 12:27 The Metta Sutta 13:26 Recapping Key Passages 15:26 Bringing Peace into Daily Life Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I dive deeply into the idea of "Wisdom for the Soul," presenting a unique approach to meditation through a multi-tradition lens. As we explore this concept, I aim to demonstrate how grounding oneself in various sacred texts can profoundly aid in fostering peace and calm within the mind and body. Building on previous discussions, I reintroduce the practice of meditating on passages from notable spiritual sources, encouraging listeners to engage with the wisdom found within these texts. I guide my listeners through a meditative experience, where I share five different passages from various traditions. Each passage offers its own depth and insight, serving as a vehicle for listeners to connect more intimately with their present state of mind. I emphasize the importance of personal resonance, inviting individuals to discover which words may speak to them most powerfully, or perhaps inspire them to find their own meaningful verses for regular meditation. As we begin this meditative journey, I gently prompt listeners to tune into their breath, to observe its natural rhythm—whether fast or slow. This mindful awareness lays the groundwork for a calming experience. I stress the release of tension while settling comfortably, allowing body and mind to enter a state of relaxation yet alertness, which is crucial for effective meditation. With each sacred passage, I encourage listeners to mentally repeat the words, inviting the wisdom of each phrase to permeate their thoughts and feelings. #MeditationPractice #AnxietySupport #FindingCalm #SpiritualGrowth #WisdomQuotes #SoulNourishment #ReligiousWisdom #InspirationalSayings #PassageMeditation #InterfaithPractice #BreathworkMeditation #NervousSystemRegulation #InnerPeaceNow #MindfulLiving #StFrancisPrayer #BhagavadGitaWisdom #PsalmMeditation #UpanishadTeachings #MettaMeditation #LovingKindnessPractice #EmotionalWellness #MentalWellbeing #StressManagement #SelfCareSunday (or any day!) #ReflectivePractice #ContemplativePrayer #FindYourStillness #BePresent #EmotionalRegulationSkills #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

0:53.1	Aloha. Welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches podcast. I'm your host and coach Gina Ryan,
1:00.0	and I am so happy to be with you again today as together we can consider the many ways to bring
1:08.3	your mind and body back to its natural peace and calm.
1:13.5	In today's episode, I want to talk a little bit about wisdom for the soul.
1:20.3	And I want to introduce you to a multi-tradition meditation.
1:25.8	In a few episodes ago, I talked about Echnathis,
1:29.8	whereon recommending meditating on passages that came from sacred and inspiring texts,
1:38.0	focusing on their deep meaning while repeating them silently.
1:43.3	And I'd like to bring into today's meditation five different
1:47.0	passages from different sacred texts so that you could get a taste of different
1:54.4	passages and maybe something will ring true for you that you would want to use in your meditation on a regular
2:03.3	basis, or maybe you like the variety, or maybe it'll give you an idea to go out and find your
2:11.0	own favorite passages. Let these be wisdom passages that can really begin to move your soul. Let your body and mind begin to
2:25.2	reorganize into a more peaceful and safe space. So while I'm talking here a little bit before we get started, begin to take notice of
2:37.8	your breath and just notice where it's at. Is it deep? Is it shallow? Is it fast? Is it slow?
2:46.2	And just begin after you notice to see if you can slow it down a little bit and maybe let the breath go a little bit deeper.
2:55.8	And let your exhale, of course, be a little bit longer and slower.
3:02.9	And as we get started in this meditation, we'll be repeating a passage, and I'd like you to hear
3:11.2	it silently in your mind after I say it, allowing its wisdom to sink deeply into your mind and
