Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker


Compassion Breathing Meditation

August 16, 2022

Tap into your own warmth, caring and nurturing through this breathing meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "My Symphony", by William Henry Channing.


My Symphony


To live content with small means;

to seek elegance rather than luxury,

and refinement rather than fashion,

to be worthy, not respectable,

and wealthy, not rich;

to study hard, think quietly,

talk gently, act frankly,

to listen to stars and birds,

to babes and sages,

with open heart,

to bear all cheerfully,

to all bravely await occasions,

hurry never.

In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden

and unconscious grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.


— William Henry Channing
