Summary
"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength."
~ Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Heartache and loss and be life's greatest teachers, it's often said. Your meditation ritual can provide you with inner grace in the midst of your pain. Throughout this week's series, you'll explore the wisdom of two great meditators who provide deep insight on healing and loss. Paramhansa Yogananda from his book, "How to Love and Be Loved," and Marcus Aurelius from his book, "Meditations," will be your companions this week as you give yourself permission to heal with inner stillness.
This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, Self-Care for Heartache and Loss, episodes 2362-2368.
