These are audio recordings of some of the weekly meditations offered live at 9 am EST Sundays. Email me at elizabethr@compassionkey.com to join live meditations.
Below are audio recordings of our Sunday meditations. They build on one another, so if you are new to the meditations, you may want to consider starting from the bottom and working your way up.

The New Rule -- Rumi
It’s the old rule that drunks have to argue
and get into fights.
The lover is just as bad. He falls into a hole.
But down in that hole he finds something shining,
worth more than any amount of money or power.
Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street.
I took it as a sign to start singing,
falling up into the bowl of sky.
The bowl breaks. Everywhere is falling everywhere.
Nothing else to do.
Here’s the new rule: Break the wineglass,
and fall toward the glassblower’s breath.
From Substack: Manifesting Hag:
And if you are grieving the life you thought you would have, Baba Yaga would soften for a moment and tell you:
"Mourn it. Cry for it. Build a little fire and let the tears fall. But do not build your house beside that fire."
The past is a place to visit.
Not a place to live.
So if you feel lost today, ask yourself:
What am I pretending not to know?
What truth have I been avoiding?
What small step would make tomorrow easier than today?
What would I do if I trusted myself?
Then do that thing.
Not the whole journey.
Just the next thing.
And as the old witch disappears into the trees, her final words drift back through the darkness:
"You are not lost, child. You are between chapters. Stop trying to read the ending and start writing the next page."
