The final session of Quiet in the Chaos invites you to rest in the imagery of a flowing river — steady, cleansing, and always renewing. Meditation is not about forcing the mind to be still, but about noticing what is present and allowing it to pass through without resistance. In this practice, you'll be guided to release what no longer serves you into the current of Love, making space for fresh possibilities. As the river carries away what you no longer need, you'll step forward with renewed clarity, peace, and openness to life's unfolding.
In Part Two of our Quiet in the Chaos meditation series, we deepen the practice by exploring the image of a mighty oak tree — rooted, steady, and nourished by what is life-giving. Meditation, whether drawn from Zen traditions of present-moment awareness or the contemplative stillness of Christian prayer, invites us to be grounded in the here and now. Like a tree whose roots hold firm through shifting seasons, you'll learn to remain steady even when life's winds blow hard. This session will help you strengthen your inner stability, reconnect to what sustains you, and carry that grounded strength into your daily life.
At Robertson + Easterling, we care about our clients' emotional health as much as their legal needs. In the first of our three-part series Quiet in the Chaos, we introduce the healing power of meditation — the ancient spiritual practice of focusing your attention and calming the mind to cultivate greater awareness, presence, and emotional balance. It can involve observing the breath, repeating a meaningful phrase, or simply noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment. Over time, meditation can reduce stress, improve clarity, and foster a deep sense of peace and connection. In this first session, you'll learn to anchor yourself when life feels turbulent. Guided by your breath, you'll practice noticing thoughts, emotions, and body sensations without being swept away by them — much like finding safe harbor in the middle of a storm. Whether you're navigating family conflict, uncertainty, or change, this meditation offers a calm center you can return to anytime.

The conversation exposes the devastating reach of this epidemic — the leading cause of death among Americans ages 18 to 45 — while offering hope through faith, advocacy, and honest dialogue.
