Episode Details

Why do we rush the parts of us that are hurting? In this episode, we explore the concept of self-compassion. We dive into a guided meditation focused on releasing the pressure of recovery and learning to sit with ourselves in a state of nonjudgmental awareness.

In This Episode We Cover:

• The Myth of Linear Healing: Why feeling two steps back is often part of the forward motion.
• The Internal Witness: How to observe your pain without becoming it.
• Guided Practice: A 10-minute heart-centered meditation.

This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Art of Honoring: A Guided Meditation for Self-Compassion,"
