Let Go Of What You Can't Control: A Stoic Meditation
A 13-minute guided meditation that uses Epictetus's image of the dice and the player to work through a personal concern. The practice, called The Throw And The Play, guides you to settle with the breath, separate what has already happened from the response you can still choose, and commit to one next action. It invites you to bring a small, everyday situation rather than an overwhelming crisis, making the Stoic insight immediate and practical. This episode is entirely a meditation session with space for reflection.
