Empathetic Witness

You are good enough. 😊

I learned that it’s ok to be distracted and have trouble focusing on the guidance during meditation when you have a lot on your mind. 😊 Quite honestly I was incredibly distracted during this meditation and had to spend some time after the guidance ended meditating in silence, breathing and gently guiding my attention to my body and whatever emotions or sensations I felt without judgement. Just being kind to myself. And I think that was all a wonderful experience. I do look forward to giving Empathetic Witness another go. 😊

Thank you.

Telling yourself that it's okay can go a long way. Today was stressful for me, but this allowed me to pull back and love myself, even despite the stressors around me pulling me out of self-awareness.

Burning the slivered almonds

This meditation couldn't be more Timely. I started it, and at the same time had some almonds toasting in the oven. As I listened to the meditation, I then realized that the almonds were burning! I took them Out of the oven and sure enough, they were crisped! I started telling myself, "what's wrong with you? Can't you do anything right?" So I resumed this meditation and the very next words were about being okay with making a mistake and self acceptance! It was like God was speaking to me at that very moment! I need to learn self empathy and compassion, I'm going to make mistakes in life and that's okay. I don't always have To perform perfectly.

Self acceptance is huge for me

By making the time for me no matter how short or long that may be at a time, with practise - self acceptance comes easier x

I realized

My sadness is okay, it's okay to be sad. But the important part is how I mend myself

Self-acceptance

This meditation hit home and affirmed what I needed to hear to heal after a bad day

Witness Myself

Being a strong empath, and one who finds and gains hoy from helping others I tend to forget about being empathetic to myself. I forget to check in with my own experiences I have witnessed and telling myself it’s okay. I am learning to accept that it is not selfish of me to be kind to myself, to put myself first or to being empathetic to my own doings.

Self empathise

It is ok to be sad and suffer from anxious thoughts, it is just how you control your sadness and your thoughts and how you behave during them.

Empathetic Witness

With stress there should also be acceptance. Not of the stress itself but of your mind in that state. It is okay to be stressed because accepting and understanding that feeling will help you to always conquer it

Acceptance

Making mistakes are okay. In fact they are apart of being human so live each day accepting what makes you imperfect because it makes you you.

Past self

I learned that my past self doesn’t have to be who I am now.
