Meditation: End of the World Premeditation
About this episode
In this guided meditation you will imagine an apocalyptic scene, the end of the world, as a way of bringing your most important values sharply into focus.
It draws on the Stoic practice of premeditation of adversity. Picturing what could go wrong leaves you better prepared, lets you rehearse meeting hardship calmly, and quietly deepens your gratitude for what is still here. So much time gets lost to the quiet assumption that we will live forever. Sitting with the shortness of life has a way of steering us somewhere truer. Find somewhere quiet and let yourself go there.
