About this episode

What if simply gazing at the moon could help you calm your anxiety?

In this gentle yet grounding meditation aligned with June’s Strawberry Moon, you'll be guided to connect with the natural world around you and slow your breath—helping you release mental overwhelm and foster inner resilience.

Through this full moon practice, you’ll discover:

- How to create a calming ritual that supports your mental health

- Techniques to release anxiety using breath, sound, and scent awareness

- A powerful sense of connection—to yourself, to nature, and to human history

Press play and give yourself space to soften your edges, breathe with intention, and realign with peace.
