Softening in the Heat of Uncertainty A Guided Meditation from RAW with Anouk

About this episode

This episode features a guided meditation led by Anouk Lorie to help listeners find calm amid uncertainty and collective grief.

In the aftermath of the Israel–Iran escalation — amid an ongoing war, summer fatigue, and collective grief — this short guided meditation offers a place to pause, ground, and soften. Led by Anouk, this 10-minute practice invites you to rest into your body, name what’s present, and gently cool the nervous system. Whether you're feeling tired, tense, or overwhelmed by the heat within and around you, this meditation offers a quiet refuge to return to what’s steady and alive. Breathe. Soften. And remember: you are not alone. For more meditations and conversations on resilience, war, and the human spirit, follow RAW with Anouk.
