Facing the Storm – The Buffalo Metaphor for Moving Through Discomfort
Manage episode 516253981 series 3698441
In this guided mindfulness meditation, we draw inspiration from the buffalo—an animal known for its bold choice to run toward storms rather than away from them. This metaphor becomes a powerful lens for exploring how we relate to emotional discomfort, fear, and avoidance in our own lives.
You’ll be gently guided to ground your body, name the “storm” you may be avoiding, and visualize yourself stepping into it with the strength and wisdom of the buffalo. Through breath, imagery, and self-compassion, you’ll practice moving through discomfort rather than around it—emerging with greater clarity, calm, and resilience.
This practice is a soft place to land when life feels heavy—and a reminder that you have what it takes to face what’s hard and come out stronger on the other side.
With warmth,
Dr. Lauren Schaefer
