Loving Breath Meditation

Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker

Breathe in love, for yourself and those around you as you follow this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Forms of Love", by Daniel Baylis.

Forms of Love, by Daniel Baylis.

Sometimes I wonder:

What's the point?

Why be good? Why care? Why try to change things?

Why--when we continue to wreck each other?

Yet, I keep moving forward.

Not because I am confident of any outcomes.

But because I am still susceptible to sweet things:

a sunset,

a cup of coffee,

a warm blanket,

the smell of lilacs,

the sound of my mother's laughter--

and all the other forms of love.

Sometimes I wonder:

what would the world look like

if each of us decided to become

a form of love?
