We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these daily meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be part of bringing spirituality alive in your life.

Today's meditation features a song by folk rock band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The brief and haunting song says, "Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground," perhaps reminding us of our deep but increasingly harmful relationship with the Earth.

Find the Cost of Freedom by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
