No one brings about positive change or improvement with criticism! This includes the way you talk to yourself.
Ever caught yourself being your own harshest critic? In this episode of the Yoga by Nature podcast, Morven Hamilton invites you to flip the script and practice self-kindness through mindfulness meditation. Imagine having a friend who constantly berates you – not fun, right? Now think about how often you might do that to yourself. This episode tackles that very issue by guiding you through a meditation designed to foster self-compassion and alleviate stress.
Morven starts by helping you find a comfortable meditation position and tuning into the sounds around you. She then leads you to become aware of your body's sensations, the support beneath you, and your breath. The idea is to breathe in kindness from your surroundings and let it flow through every part of your body. It's like giving yourself a warm, internal hug.
Throughout the session, Morven emphasizes that this practice is about training your mind for the long haul – you don't have to believe every negative thought that pops up. To deepen the experience, she suggests using a mantra like 'may I be well', which helps focus your mind and reinforce your intention. The episode wraps up with grounding techniques, bringing your attention back to your body and taking a few deep breaths before you go about your day.
Perfect for anyone feeling the weight of self-criticism, this episode offers practical tools to cultivate a kinder, more compassionate inner dialogue. Tune in and give yourself the gift of self-kindness.
