Letting Go of the Past: Ashlie Pappas' Guided Meditation for Recovery
In recovery, we can tend to beat ourselves up and feel a lot of shame and guilt, which can end up being pretty toxic for us.
How often do we find ourselves weighed down by past mistakes and regrets? In this episode of 'Naturally Recovered', Ashlie Pappas offers a soothing guided meditation aimed at helping listeners release their past and embrace a brighter future in recovery. Ashlie's calming voice leads you through a journey where you visualize your past as a tangible weight, and then imagine cutting the tether that binds it to you.
This simple yet powerful exercise is designed to help you acknowledge your past without letting it define you. She emphasizes the importance of forgiving yourself—often the hardest person to forgive—and finding lessons in each experience rather than being consumed by guilt and shame. By shifting your perspective, Ashlie encourages you to see your past as a series of valuable lessons that can enrich your recovery journey.
Her gentle guidance creates a safe space for self-exploration and healing, making this meditation a perfect companion for anyone looking to move forward in their sobriety. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers a moment of peace and a fresh perspective on letting go.
