07.24.2026 3 Guided Meditations For this Weekend Reader, we invite you to take a break from reading and rest in the present moment with one of three guided meditations. Below, Rev. Qalvy Grainzvolt offers a mindfulness practice for building resilience in the face of life’s unpredictability, Peace Twesigye shares a heart practice to help us hold both personal well-being and the world’s suffering with care, and Beth Wallace leads a guided body scan meditation that uses the breath as an anchor to presence. Each of these practices is excerpted from our library of video workshops for Lion’s Roar members. Led by trusted teachers, our member workshops distill profound insights into practical lessons you can actually use, offering clear guidance to help you wake up a little more each day. I’ve found great wisdom within them, and I hope you will, too. Wherever this weekend finds you, may these meditations offer a chance to pause, breathe, and connect to yourself and the world around you. —Lilly Greenblatt, digital editor, Lion’s Roar Guided Meditation to Cultivate Resilience with Qalvy Grainzvolt Qalvy Grainzvolt guides us through a meditation to connect with your inherent capacity for growth and resilience.
