This one comes from one of the guests from the election sanity series, Tawari Salah. We had around the show this week talking about one of the Brahma Vihara's called sympathetic joy, which we've been calling the opposite of Shadenfroyd. This is a meditation, however, on a slightly different subject. It's on the elements, or three of the elements. This is drawn from another Buddhist concept. The elements in question here being fire, earth, and wind. This may sound a little out there, but it's really not.

As Tawari will explain, in fact, this is a really sort of earthy way to develop resilience. So give it a try. Here's Tawari Salah. Hi. This is Tawari. Today, we're going to meditate on three elements. These elements are universal. They're just part of nature and they're not personal. To begin, bring your attention to the felt temperature of this body. Warm. Some places are cool.

You'll need to do anything about the temperature, the feeling of it, which is noticing. This is the fire element. And you can turn your attention to this felt sense of the body sitting or standing or lying down. Bring your attention to the sense of heaviness of the body, the heaviness is part of the earth element. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld.

Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. Yn yw'n gweld. You have been finally, as we begin to feel into this earth and its steadiness, its sense It's sense of non-moving. You may feel tingly moving in the body. You may feel the rocket motion of the breath. It's this movement. It's a wind, it's an element of wind that moves. It's this aliveness of here and now. So the more we learn to practice connecting with these elements, And the more we learn how to respond

from our own values, don't you ready? You can open your eyes, but let the feeling of these elements stay settled in the body. And I'm wishing you a really good day. and stay settled in the body. And I'm wishing you a really good day. Big thanks to Tawari. Quick reminder, our free election sanity meditation challenge
