How often do you react before you’ve had a chance to think?

More often than we realize. Even a brief pause can change what happens next.

This month on our Mindfulness Meditation podcast, we’re exploring open-mindedness—not as passivity, but as the ability to take a moment before reacting and create space instead of immediately judging or pushing things away. By spending time with works of art, we can practice that pause and notice what shifts when we stay curious a little longer.

The Mindfulness Meditation podcast is a weekly series inspired by works from our collection. Each episode is guided by a meditation teacher and includes a short talk and a 20-minute meditation, designed for both new and experienced practitioners.

🎧 A new episode is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, with new episodes every Friday.
