Meditation for Self-Trust

Many of us have spent most of our lives betraying our own needs to feel loved, accepted or to fit in.
This often results in a lack of self-esteem and a lack of self-worth.

When we begin to build self - trust, we can then focus on what self - care means to us.

What does self-care mean to you?
