Stop Relying On External Validation

In today's session with Darius Bashar, we will turn to our spiritual source for guidance and unwavering confidence. Community encouragement and constructive feedback are great sources of support. However, when we begin to ignore our inner voice and rely too heavily on external validation, our dependence on this crutch can turn toxic. We start compromising our identity and core values in search of others' approval. This practice will help you shift your mindset stand your ground with gentleness. We hope you enjoy this session.

Loved this, talk and meditation and found it really helpful from the tips to the heart work. This was powerful for me and something I need to commit to work on as I leave my heart too often whereas I see it should be number one. Thank you

Pougnant, practical and imperfectly perfect for me

Thank you Darius. I really enjoyed your talk and meditation. I particularly loved you three practical tips!!

I’m in my late 70s now and STILL people-pleasing! Let’s hope I have time to change. Your beautiful, gentle meditation is going to help, I just know it. Thank you Darius 🙏

I loved this so much. In trying to shape myself to gain external validation, I get farther and farther from it. Authenticity, in all it’s messiness, is worth the risk. I choose me, all of me.

I like the tip - push button to activate my force shield from negativity!

Thank you for this insanely beautiful meditation ♥️

Loved it! Practical tips to center oneself and stay authentic in social relationships. Thank you.

Very cool. I loved the first thought that at the core of ppl pleasing is a desire for connection. Thank u!

I need to do more work in this area. Thank you for the wonderful tips and talk.

That was one of the best meditations I’ve done in years. I’ve never realised the strength of the urge to dress myself up as someone else until you described it! I’ve always known that I did it (and frequently hated myself for it), but now I feel Ike I’ve got tools to combat it. Thankyou so much!

Just wonderful!! As a ‘dominant Feeler’ in Myers Briggs terms (ENFJ) this is something I’m so familiar with.😌 Living from the Heart without losing myself- finding sweet balance. And also learning it’s ok to say ‘no’.:) such an amazing magical journey we are on. Love & blessings.💚🙏

This is a lesson on letting go of people pleasing and recentering awareness on self.💪👍🏼 Lovely voice, insightful teaching, great music - personally I prefer longer meditation time, to integrate. I stayed on after to let the teaching sink in. Thank you so very much 🙏🏼

Really enjoyed that, your comment about your shield and the sound made me laugh, thank you for sharing ✨

The why is clear to me. Thank you for explaining in such a kind and gentle manner. Many thanks 🙌🏻 💫❤️

Wow, just what I needed today. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻 Your meditations support me in the steps I need to do.... 🤍✨✨✨💫

Thought provoking meditation on the impact of people pleasing! So needed 🧡

Jeez I just wrote a hugely massive expose of my poor little vulnerable self which shot of into the ether!! Probably a good thing and was a useful tool to write it. Anyway this is exactly what I need to do to protect myself from a growing family upsetting situation. Acceptance and forgiveness would be useful tools but it’s stalemate and probably always will be. People are different but some are really different. I’m ADD and chaotic. Some people find that annoying!! Oh dear! But it’s not a laughing matter for anybody concerned.
Anyway thank you for this. I’ll join the discussion I think. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

This was a lovely reminder to stay true to my core, delivered in a beautiful, gentle voice. Thank you Darius.

Incredible. Will definitely use the force field activation. Thank you!
