Dear One, if you grew up feeling invisible, unworthy, or responsible for everyone else's emotions, I want you to know something. It's not you. It's your programming. I am Lisa A. Romano, a Breakthrough Life Coach, meditation teacher, and bestselling author. The Road Back to Me reached number one in its category, and my books have been named among the best ever written on codependency. I have written for Psychology Today on narcissistic parenting. My work centers on codependency recovery, narcissistic abuse recovery, and the subconscious beliefs that keep so many of us caught in cycles of self-abandonment. I host Breakdown to Breakthrough, a podcast ranked in the top 100 for mental health. Everything I teach comes out of my own recovery. I know what it is to live beneath the veil of conscious awareness, running childhood survival conditioning and disconnected from yourself, because I lived there for decades. My meditations were made for the version of you still waiting to exhale. Together we will settle the survival brain, reconnect with the inner child, and learn to live above the veil. You are not broken, Dear One. You adapted. It's not you. It's your programming. And programming can always be rewritten.

Thank you, Lisa, for all of your wisdom. You are helping me come to terms with my past, in a peaceful way that creates joy, not resentment

More of a talk than a meditation but it was good to listen to 💕

Thank you for this meditation. I'm at the beginning of trying to redress my childhood traumas. I have lived with this pain for decades and I need to process and be hopefully free of these unhelpful emotions and feelings. Namaste!🙏🏻

I always get what I didn’t know I need from these talks. ✨

I believe this deserves a higher rating than the current one of 4.7. This is a fairly short meditation. It is not a talk. The first part of it is spent getting into a meditative state using a body scan, then we are guided into focusing on how each of us is a part of nature and that we embody the world. Her words remind me of things I have learned elsewhere; that our physical bodies contain the elements that were created at the time of the big bang, we are star dust, the earth, the water, the atmosphere, bundled up into this human body. We have our childhood and adult experiences that results in us developing feelings. We can use our brain to determine which of these feelings are hurting us and choose to change our focus away from the negative to the positive. I feel she covers a lot of situations, emotions, theories briefly in this short meditation. This is one I could use over and over and each time I would have a different experience. Thank you Lisa for creating this meditation almost a decade ago.
