Mini Meditation From Shoreline: Like A Clock in a Thunderstorm

Today’s mini meditation is one of the most popular meditations on my app - Shoreline. Take 5 minutes to try it now!


“Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.” ⁠ ~Robert Louis Stevenson⁠

There is something about the imagery of a clock in a thunderstorm - a steady, safe consistency that invokes the feeling of meditation.⁠

Meditation isn’t a promise that there will be no loud noises, disruptions or heartaches. The practice is simply a tool that provides a steady, safe consistency from which we can respond to any given moment and any given situation. ⁠

You can listen to a longer version of "Like A Clock in a Thunderstorm" guided meditation on Shoreline {available in the Apple app store}.

I wrote this meditation alongside the perfectly captured thunderstorm recorded by Gordon Hempton in Arkansas. You can hear the space, the energy and your own private pace within this practice.⁠


These mini meditations are meant to support a daily home practice. Tune in every Monday to find your practice for the week! Full episodes are released every Thursday for a longer, deeper practice.
