So many of us feel overwhelmed by horrifying world events. I’m thankful for the Calm app, which I use daily. Now Calm has made a page of resources available free to everyone for “Coping with the Weight of the World.”
Disclosure: This post contains some affiliate links (at no cost to you).
I’ve often talked about the Calm App, my favorite meditation resource. Now there’s a free page of helpful resources for “Coping with the Weight of the World.”
The email I received from Calm said:
“The state of the world has so many of us overwhelmed by fear, anxiety and grief that can feel too heavy to hold. Weโve made our โCoping with the Weight of the Worldโ collection of meditations available to everyone.
๐ May we all be safe.
๐ May we all be free from harm.
๐ May we all find relief from suffering.
Share this link with your loved ones so they can listen for free โ no app or subscription needed.”
On the free page, there are categories for
- Rest for the Weary
- On Information Overload
- Bearing Tragedy
- Connecting Our Humanity
- Erasing Empathy Fatigue
- Healing for Helplessness
So helpful and needed! On behalf of everyone, thank you, Calm!
Free Page of Resources from Calm Shared Previously
I shared before that to support everyone’s mental and emotional wellness since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Calm offers a free page of resources: meditations, live stream, sleep stories, music, soundscapes, movement, calm kids, calendar, and more. (Note: The link should work even if it’s crossed through.) While most of the resources are for teens and adults, there are some wonderful resources for a variety of ages in the calm kids category.
Be sure to check out the daily inspiration from Calm on Facebook and Instagram. You’ll find helpful resources on YouTube and the Calm blog as well.
