Someone is on your mind: a friend who is ill, a parent fading, a grown child whose life has turned somewhere hard. A session for when you are carrying a worry you cannot set right, learning to hold steady beside it without being pulled under.

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line — present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
Care Without Drowning is a guided audio session from Salūs — part of the mindfulness collection, narrated by Marco Vella.
