Come Sit Beside Me With Your Inner Critic

The inner critic often believes it is keeping us safe, yet its constant voice can leave us feeling exhausted, discouraged, and disconnected from ourselves.

In this gentle guided meditation, you'll be invited to slow down, connect with your body, and explore your relationship with the inner critic through curiosity and compassion. Together, we'll practice listening beneath the criticism, honoring the parts of ourselves that have been working so hard to protect us, and creating space for greater self-kindness.

A meditation for anyone longing to soften self-judgment and come home to themselves.

Come sit beside me. Bring your inner critic to. In fact, Bring all parts of you. Let's sit with the inner critic for a while. Let's see what it has to say. Without shaming. Or pushing it away. Just sit with it for a moment. Just listening. Is it possible that this critic is trying to protect you from something. Is it possible that this voice has been here a long time. Is it possible that this voice is not even your voice? I invite you to put your hand on your heart. And repeat after me. Either out loud or silently. Body. Thank you for trying to protect me. I'm here now. You can rest. I know life can be hard sometimes. Thank you for your protection. All these years. We are a team now. We work together. And for now. . . You can rest.
