Radical Self-Acceptance
About this class
Practice this meditation to see how different life feels when you accept yourself fully, exactly as you are right now.
Many of us go through life with a strong inner-critic — that mean voice within that constantly criticizes us and tells us we are not worthy of being loved. This meditation will help you quiet that voice of shame and self-judgment, replacing it with a loving and supportive one that accepts you fully, just the way you are right now. Saying yes to yourself in this radical way will not keep you stuck where you are; instead, it will create the healthy soil where you can plant positive seeds of change within.
