39. Meditation with Music: Healing the Rejected Self Meditation

We all have pieces of ourselves that we feel are flawed, broken, and that we reject. That rejection keeps us in a stuck place. This meditation helps to bring these stories to the surface so that we can let them go and give ourselves the care and inspiration to move forward. This meditation can feel intense, so if you need to back off or pause during it, please do. We talked a bit about why this can be hard in episode 29 (Backdraft: When Being Good to Yourself Feels Bad). 

This meditation is also a bit of a taste of how we work in the Joy Lab program, taking these elements of joy and creating new paths with them so we can uncover our most joyful, resilient, and accepted self.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Like working with any system or tool, you need to practice. Use this meditation to practice the self-acceptance that is necessary for a healthy body and mind.
• It's really true...you're not broken. This meditation can help us let go of the stories that aren't serving us and move forward with inspiration and self-care.
