The focus of this guided meditation is healing - through breathing. Julie Potiker completes the meditation with the poem," We Were Made for This," by Julia Fehrenbacher.

We Were Made for This, by Julia Fehrenbacher

I want to fill this space

with words that will erase the distance

between your certainty and mine

make room under the big, empty sky

for grace to sit, move closer

until skin touches skin, eyes see eyes.

Maybe we can take a good, deep

breath, clear body and mind of all

that’s come before. Promise

to pay attention, to stay—

especially when it hurts.

Maybe this time we will see

that it has nothing

to do with who we’ve been

or who we think we are

and everything

to do with being fiercely here—

like breath is for life. Yes,

like that.

Maybe—perhaps, we can begin

and begin again with—I don’t know. See

that it takes just one step toward

to erase the distance

that was only ever a thought.

Dinner is on the stove, will you join me?
