Today is Day 20 of 21 Days to Kalm. Our theme for the day is UNHURRIED.
Here is your guided meditation for today. Today’s “Butter” meditation is by Zen Buddhist teacher Hakuin Ekaku. (Thank you, Carol, for bringing this meditation to my attention.)
Martha wrote the following after experiencing the “Butter” meditation:
Loved the butter meditation – so did EmmaCat & Ralph. You likely know that wealthy Egyptians used to put perfumed fat or wax cones on their head for special occasions!We have a plate on our kitchen wall that says, in Norwegian, “Everything is Better with Butter and Love”. Indeed! ♡
Below is a photo Martha sent of a wealthy Egyptian wearing a perfumed wax/fat cone on her head. Maybe it is made of butter. If you don’t see the photo in your inbox, you’ll want to look at the blog post from my website www.frangallo.com
You may sit or lie down for this guided meditation. I think sitting down might be nice for this one. If lying down, you may enjoy having a bolster or rolled blanket under your knees.
I encourage you to share this blog post with your friends. Anyone can do this simple meditation and benefit from it.

Hi Merry, Thank you so much for your comment! I love giving these meditations. It’s one action I can take to help lower anxiety levels in this stressful neck-to-neck race to the US presidency. I hope you and Bob are well! Good to be in touch. Namaste, Fran
