When we judge ourselves,
We block our ability to fully access our true self.
Judgment blocks self-love,
Compassion,
And any willingness to be kind to ourselves.
In this meditation,
We're gonna work on accepting ourselves exactly as we are,
And then address one issue where we've really been struggling to let go of the judgment,
Learning the root cause of that self-judgment and how we can start to release it.
Let's begin by getting into a comfortable position for you.
Whether that's seated or laying down,
Don't judge which way is right.
Do what works for you.
Close your eyes,
Or let them softly be open,
Not straining,
And begin to turn your attention to your breath.
Allow it to flow naturally,
Noticing its rhythm,
Noticing if it's fast or slow,
Or shallow or deep.
Simply observe it,
And do not judge it.
Begin to deepen your breath,
Taking in longer inhales,
Holding it gently,
And then doing a longer exhale.
Notice how this deeper breath makes you feel.
Does it bring anxiety or calm?
Simply observe it.
Don't judge it.
Turn your attention to your entire body.
Notice how it feels.
Is there pain?
Are you tired?
Is there any discomfort?
Is there one area that feels different than the rest?
Simply observe.
Do not judge it.
Turn your attention to your emotions.
What feelings are coming up right now?
Where are they sitting in your body?
Sit with them.
Let them be there.
Do not judge them.
Knowing that you are supported by your body,
Your emotions,
And your spirit guides,
Call to mind a situation where you have been judging yourself.
Now ask your guides to share with you any subconscious reasons why you are judging yourself in this situation,
Allowing them to show you what you might not see.
Allow the answers to flow to you without judging the insights that you do receive.
Now ask your guides how you should proceed in releasing this judgment.
Don't judge their answer.
Instead,
Know that you can accept it and act on it when you are ready,
And you do not have to do anything immediately.
Instead,
Simply allow the information in now.
Now.
With this information,
Take a moment to sit and allow your guides to send you healing energy to help release your self-judgment.
Begin to return your focus to your body,
Noticing how it feels,
Noticing if anything has shifted.
Don't judge it,
Simply notice.
Refocus your attention on your breath,
Noticing its rhythm,
Has it changed?
Don't judge it,
Just observe it.
When you are ready,
Return your presence back to the space that you are in.
Slowly beginning to wiggle your hands and feet and opening your eyes when you are ready.
Continue to hold onto this state of observing and accepting without judgment throughout the rest of your day.
I encourage you to take a moment to jot down any notes about what your guides said.
Remember,
You don't have to take action immediately,
You can slowly begin to work through what they have given you.
As you are doing this work,
Anytime you feel like you are judging yourself,
Return to this meditation to help you release that judgment.
Thank you for meditating with me today.
