I did hear from my inner wisdom: active listening with curiosity, reflecting back to the other person instead of just saying, "Gotcha." I do this when I feel unsure that I understand them, but it would be better to do it even when I think I understand, because I might be wrong, and because it helps them feel more seen & understood.

I finally had a meditation bring me to complete silence in my head. Practice is paying off, but this one was amazing to help me only focus on my breath- with the help of “labeling” inhale and exhale.

I love this series, and this meditation is no exception. The visualization of a safe space took me back to my childhood and the fields where the huge power lines crossed the hills behind our home. As a kid, my siblings & I took hikes through there many times, and imagining a cottage there for me was delightful. The deep listening question is timely, also, because my word of the year for '26 is Transition. I hadn't associated Judgement with leaving things behind, so that was surprising to me. I'll have to read up on the card some more, I see. Anyway, thank you so much for these meditations!

Beautiful. I recently learned about Kriya while reading about Paramahansa Yogananda, and I’m intrigued. It’s different than my TM, but similar in all the right ways.

Beautiful meditation before my asana practice this morning. Thank you.

A powerful question to consider. I need to continue working on emotional regulation, which has been a life-long challenge thanks to C-PTSD.

Lovely 🙏

Feeling confident in my ability to make a difference in my community. Tapas is a powerful tool.
