This short meditation is a gift of getting grounded in the knowledge of love inside ourselves, especially when we're not feeling it — an essential step towards the presence we desire to have in the world.
Dr. Vivek Murthy is the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. He also served in this role from 2014 to 2017. He hosts the podcast House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy. And he’s the author of Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.
This meditation originally appeared as a part of Dr. Murthy’s full On Being conversation with Krista, “To Be a Healer,” which aired April 13, 2023.
