A Sleep Meditation for When You're Overwhelmed with all the Suffering in the World

Your heart feels heavy,

And your eyes are threatened with tears.

You see another story of suffering,

Another reminder of the darkness in our world.

And it invades your soul.

Whether the suffering has touched you directly,

Or someone you have never met,

These deep emotions are a reminder that we are all connected.

This feeling of overwhelm can make you feel helpless, or depressed, or hopeless. 

Tonight’s meditation will help you flush out those deep emotions.

And invite you to see that the only way to transcend the suffering in the world is through compassion, forgiveness and shining your own light as bright as you possibly can.
