Wow thank you so much. I really needed to do this meditation today. X

Thank you for this. It was a good reminder universal need for feeling valuable and approved. However, I think it’s key to remember that we never can get filled up by things that can never fill us up. The key learning for me was being kind to my self and appreciating the growth that is occurring and showing up. Namaste.

Thank you so much. I really needed this. I like how u authentically shares what inspires you. Love your work

This was exceptional! We all get insecure, or we all need validation sometimes in my opinion, and this is essential for healing!

I love the way you take the edge of everyday experiences and shower then with love and compassion which encourages self compassion. 🙏

This is outstanding! I will repeat it (probably many times) because I have a long history of validation seeking. It is extremely helpful to recall holding hands with my dad since he was the main person who I felt I needed validation from. Thank you Lou. ☺️🙏🏻🌹✨

This is the first meditation I've left a review for and I've listened to many wonderful ones. I've been realising that the need for validation has been holding me back, especially when that need is from people I highly respect (usually those in a position of authority but also family and friends). I know I often do not feel enough even though I am. This is usually when I present something and show vulnerability. This meditation allowed me to see that we all seek the same validation at times and to love and support myself regardless of others feedback. We all have a lot to offer whether it's acknowledged or not. Thank you for helping remind me of our connection in this world.

It is transformational to cheer for myself and for others. I found my heart opening and was given the capacity to cheer for others, even those I felt were not open to me when I could observe that we are all the same. Thank you for this powerful practice.

Profound and insightful meditation. So appreciate your real and relatable approach. 💙🙏🏽

Validation from the self - it is all we need. Thank you for sharing the story of your need for validation, but then sharing how to validate ourselves. It’s as if the knowledge of how to validate is in all of us. It is a practice to take it to action that needs reminding. Thank you. Namaste.

I got a lot of confidence in the first part and at the end with everyone cheering but the middle part when I was in the hallway - there was someone that is always critical of my public speaking. And to hold her hand and feel love was very traumatic. Lots of felt sense showing as pressure on my chest. I guess I’m not ready to be that open with a really toxic person yet. 🙏

🙏🏻 thank you for sharing this insight and guiding this journey within whilst feeling safe.. . Innerchild work established here for me- going to the root of it all- the root of my existence and my physcial body. 🙏🏻 all aspects were present for me- my fear- my beliefs- but also compassion and mutual understanding .. The stage has been a great place to have another perspective.. the hallway was a safe place to be. Thank you again!

So valuable, and very helpful! I’ve caught myself seeking validation and stopped myself and attempted to figure out why.
I really appreciate your candid meditations, including bits of your life as an illustration or example. It does help me see myself (having a similar situation), and learning from it.
As others have said, I’ve also grown incredibly from your teachings.
Sending you love and gratitude 💖😘

Thank you for offering a meditation on this topic. The stage visualization fit perfectly with where I am on my life journey. After being a stay at home mom for 13 years, I got a certification to teach fitness classes. And I often find myself seeking approval and validation from the pa

I needed so much to hear this, thank you! Lately I've been feeling so low and unmotivated to do what I do just because of validation, especially since I've started to share my work on social media. This meditation is so powerful and really helped to connect with myself and get inspired to do a good work again. I also loved the ending, it's such a important message. I'll be rooting for you too! Thank you so much!

The visualization transported me to my high school auditorium! It didn’t feel as intimidating as I realized everyone feels the need to be validated. Thanks for this offering.

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed today, thank you, thank you!!! ✨❤️

Thank you Lou, for yet another inspiring and uplifting meditation. It felt great to send myself validation, and to do the same for others, even for those whom I do not usually like to give validation. A great way to start my day!

This meditation is huge for me! Pulling me out of one of the darkest stages in my life, I never feel guilty for using up 30 minutes of my day for this. Thank you thank you thank you🙏🏽 Namaste!

I enjoy the visualization piece of the practice.
