About this episode

This episode features a guided meditation focusing on resilience and the balance between action and rest amidst challenging times.

In this special 10-minute guided meditation from Raw, we pause amid war, heat, and division to honor both the call to act and the need to rest. Through the rhythm of breath, we explore resilience—the balance between rising with strength and softening into renewal. The meditation closes with a Hebrew blessing, offered as both prayer and poetry, for strength and peace. Raw is a podcast of unguarded conversations and practices about resilience, morality, and healing in the shadow of war. Subscribe on all podcast apps or join the newsletter at WithAnouk.com
