Core State Meditation: Holy/Hurt Podcast

A 15-minute Guided Meditation by Dr. Hillary McBride

This lovely meditation by Dr. Hillary McBride invites us to visit this place that John O’Donohue wrote about:

“There is a place in you where you have never been wounded, where there is still a sureness in you, where there’s a seamlessness in you, and where there is a confidence and tranquility in you. And I think the intention of prayer and spirituality and love is, now and again, to visit that inner kind of sanctuary.”

Part of my own healing journey has been trusting a place like this exists in me always and knowing what it feels like to be in this space.

When I’m feeling disconnected from the qualities of aliveness I experience there, a practice like this can support my attunement to my center, my sacred core.

What works for others may not be your precise path and what works one day may not work every day, and that’s totally normal.

Practices like this one invite us to experiment and discover new ways to cultivate our capacity to be present in our lives and relationships.
