Meditations
Meditation offers a pause within a world that sometimes doesn’t feel like it slows down. Taking even a few moments to pause can help calm your body and mind in the midst of hospital life. These guided meditations are designed to meet you right where you are.

Parenting a child who is hospitalized or chronically hospital-involved means frequently interacting with environments saturated with alarms, fluorescent lights, sterile halls, and conversations that can carry life-changing weight. Fear may sit in the stomach, exhaustion might cling to the body, and the nervous system never fully leaves “alert mode.” At the same time in this space, parents are often asked to make decisions for their child’s health, comfort their children, and remain steady—often without tools to care for their own inner state.
Meditation offers a pause. Not an escape, but a grounding. Each breath becomes a way to return to presence—to anchor love in the middle of chaos, to steady enough to hear and be heard, to carry forward a calm your child can feel. Research affirms what many parents already know intuitively: when caregivers are supported in managing their stress, children’s care experiences improve.
The Breath Between acknowledges that meditation may not resonate with everyone—and that’s okay. Our vision extends beyond these first offerings. We are building toward a broader suite of supports so every parent, no matter their coping style, can find a tool that helps them feel steady, held, and less alone.
For now - should meditation feel right - we invite you to join us in listening to these meditations - made for our reality. When you click the link above you will be directed to The Breath Between’s Soundcloud link, hosting our professionally crafted meditations.
