My Past Was Practice For Today

In this exercise, we'll use simple, gentle breathing to learn how the experiences of our past can be leaned upon and drawn from to help us through those moments and circumstances we don't think we are strong enough to face.

Let's sit, breathe together, and explore.

Peter’s meditation helped me ground myself in my own real lived experience. It was empowering to think of my past self putting in so much work to prepare me for challenges I’m facing today. I appreciated Peter’s voice, and I was grateful to focus on my experiences for once, as opposed to some innateness I was meant to be born with. I’m not saying we aren’t born valuable and worthy—we are! But I’m saying that we’re born as a largely blank slate, and it’s our experiences, even our neonatal experiences, that make us who we are. And I appreciated Peter helping me to focus on those experiences and feel gratitude for the hard work my past self lovingly did in service of my present self.
