The Role of Meditation in the Work

With Laura's guided mediations now available on the Cassiopaea YouTube channel, I thought I might bump this thread in order to reflect on some recent experiences, particularly with the mediation for Protection, Wellness and Prosperity and the role this has taken on with the Work:
The first thing to say is that, a while ago now, I really stepped up my use of breath work, from doing EE a few times a week to doing at least the breath work aspect of EE each evening and beginning each day with other breathing methods according to needs and aims. Although this breath work goes quite some way to calming my mind for meditation, I don't try to meditate without seed (and I find Laura's voice on both the EE recording and the guided meditations to be very helpful).
Since the guided meditations have become available, my wife and I have done the above linked guided meditation together most nights.
For myself, I've noticed quite a difference in how I approach each day and meditation itself. Joe captured it nicely earlier in the thread:
Exactly. Meditation, as a part of the Work has, for me, become the means by which I am better able to self-observe; stay attentive and alert; recognise the subtle movement of emotion and press pause before long-ingrained programs kick-in, with a greater deal of success.
Also, in these tumultuous times, being able to face reality and the terror of the situation with more composure, awareness and - slowly - diminishing self-importance has been, and continues to be, a tremendous help. 'A influences' also seem to have far less of their ability to distract as well, happily.
In my recent experience then, the EE breathing in concert with guided meditation, have shifted the Work into a whole new gear.
