Summary

Be guided in a meditation to let go of fear. In this meditation, you'll be guided using a mudra meditation technique to cultivate your own inner strength.

This is part 4 of a 7-Part Meditation Series on Resilience, Episodes 1459-1465.

As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

Resources: Music composed by Christopher Lloyd Clark licensed by RoyaltyFreeMusic.com, and also by musician Greg Keller. I'd love your feedback! Please let me know how you're enjoying the meditations by leaving me a review.
