Releasing Painful Self-Judgments ~ A Body & Mind Practice

Judgments and labels we put on ourselves can be deeply painful. Whether it’s identifying with a diagnosis or silently calling ourselves ugly names, these labels weigh us down and reinforce shame.

In this practice, we’ll explore the body with gentle movement and the relaxing “physiological sigh,” then meet the mind where those labels live. By returning to the body, we’ll directly experience how these judgments are empty — they don’t define who we are.

You may already know this cognitively, but this session offers the felt sense of freedom from labels, an embodied release.

(Please note: this session is not recommended if you’re currently suffering from a serious psychological illness.)
