A Meditation for Creating an Anchor of Inner Strength with Melli O'Brien

Listen to this episode from Mindful Meditations on Spotify. What does it feel like to experience ourselves—in our own minds and bodies—as a reliable place we can come home to in order to feel grateful, calm, and resilient?  In this week’s guided meditation, Melli O’Brien walks us through a practice we can return to in times of uncertainty or challenge to remind us of our own inner strength.    This meditation is part of our Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement series, where we're sharing guided practices from the women featured in our 2025 special edition of Mindful magazine.  If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Curious about the many benefits of being a member?
