Focusing Your Monkey Brain on the Present: 10 Minute Guided Stoic Meditation

Get better everyday with a 10 minute guided meditation. We combine the wisdom of Stoicism and the practice of mindfulness which helps cultivate the concept of "amor fati," which translates to "love of fate." This means accepting whatever happens in our lives with gratitude and equanimity, rather than resisting or resenting it. With the soothing sounds of waterfalls in the background, we introduce a lesson from a Stoic that will help you cultivate inner peace and resilience, followed by a brief period of silence for you to apply these principles to your practice.

As we begin this meditation, find a comfortable seated position and take a few deep breaths to settle into the present moment. We will guide you through a series of mindfulness techniques, such as body scanning and breath awareness, to help you relax and let go of any tension or stress you may be holding onto. Throughout the meditation, the sound of the waterfall will provide a soothing and grounding backdrop, helping us to connect with nature and find a sense of peace and tranquility within.

By the end of this 10 minute Stoic meditation practice, you will feel more centered, grounded, and resilient, ready to face whatever challenges life may bring with a calm and steady mind. So find a quiet space, put on some headphones, and let's begin.
