Some days feel impossibly heavy. Your body weighs more, your thoughts move slower, and the simplest tasks seem monumental. When depression settles in, we often feel we should be doing more, trying harder, pushing through. But this meditation meets you exactly where you are—no fixing, no forced positivity, just companionship through a tough moment.
There's no pressure to breathe deeply, no requirement to sit still if your body wants to curl up. "There is no wrong way to be here," we remind you, creating space for whatever you're experiencing. The guided meditation offers simple anchors—the weight of your feet, the shape of your hands, the sensation of being supported—that help you remember you're still here, still present, even when everything feels far away.
The practice includes a gentle body scan and concludes with an invitation to consider one small kind act for yourself—whether that's drinking water, watching something comforting, or simply resting.
Take this meditation with you as a companion for difficult days. Remember that showing up, just as you are, matters. And trust that this moment, like all moments, will shift.
