Use your breath to focus on what you need right now - through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with her poem, "11 minutes".

11 minutes, by Julie Potiker


The Karmine Line, invisible.

But real enough to draw a boundary

between us and what's beyond.

At 62 miles the air gives up its grip

and Blue Origin, that sleek silver wish,

carries six women through suborbital space into weightlessness.

11 minutes, a life can turn inside that.

11 minutes, enough to change how the soul spells home.

And when they landed they brought space back in their eyes.

I watched video of them landing

how they must have looked at the trees, the grass,

and each other differently

as if the whole world had shifted just slightly toward kindness.

I wish I could go, feel the silence, see the curve of the earth with my own eyes.

But that journey isn't mine.

Not this lifetime.

Instead, I breathe into the knowing.

We are made of stardust,

bones, breath, memory already part of the vastness, already connected to everything.

Space isn't only up there.

It lives in here.


-Julie Potiker
