Sometimes the most powerful way to move forward is by starting gently.

The Gentle Beginning is a short, calming guided meditation designed for moments when you’re ready to begin—but want to do it with ease, clarity, and calm instead of pressure.

In this episode, you’ll be guided through a peaceful visualization of an open door—already unlocked, already welcoming—symbolizing possibility, openness, and a soft, supportive beginning. There’s nothing to force and nothing to figure out. Just a quiet moment to breathe, settle your body, and reconnect with a sense of steady readiness.

This short meditation is perfect if you’re feeling:
 • Overwhelmed or unsure where to start
 • In need of a calming reset during the day
 • Ready for change but craving a softer approach
 • Drawn to mindfulness, breathwork, or gentle guided meditation

You can listen while sitting, lying down, or standing—anytime you want to slow your thoughts, relax your body, and create space for clarity to naturally unfold.

Whenever you're ready to move your body, the coordinating Healing Mile episode - Start From Here - a gentle, guided walk, is waiting for you.
