Protect Your Peace: A 9-Minute Meditation to Release What You Can't Control

Protect Your Peace: A 9-Minute Meditation to Release What You Can't Control

 

What if you could choose where your energy goes and protect what matters most?

In this special Mental Wellness Month meditation, Karena guides you through a powerful practice designed to help you protect your peace and release what's not yours to carry. Using breathwork, visualization, and affirmations, this meditation creates a protective boundary around your energy and reminds you that not everything deserves your attention—and not everyone is owed access. Perfect for starting your day, resetting after stress, or finding your center when life pulls you in too many directions.

How do you protect your peace in a world that constantly demands your energy?

Learning to choose where your energy goes is an act of self-preservation and self-love.

(00:00) Settling In & Releasing the Day

(04:30) Visualizing Your Protective Light & Setting Boundaries
