Am I really free? Are any of us?
I’m not talking about freedom in the way we usually mean it — like having freedom to speak my mind or to choose my own path. Instead, I mean something a little more profound. I’m talking about freedom from judgment. Freedom from the need to prove my worth, or to behave a certain way to be liked.
That kind of freedom, I’ve come to understand, can only be uncovered from within.
This week’s meditation is an invitation to find that place within you where you are already free.
So, settle into a comfortable place and together, we will find freedom once more.
I hope you enjoy this meditation on finding personal freedom.
An important note before you go to meditation…
This practice is a companion to good psychological care. It is not a replacement for it.
If at any time this practice feels like too much, let it go. It is not for today. You can always come back to it another time. Let there be gentleness and compassion for yourself.
And now, if you are ready, please find yourself a seat and click on the audio recording above to go deeper.
Mindful Minute: If something arose for you after listening, I’d love to hear about it! Let’s talk about freedom. What does it mean to you? Are there different ways you are free with different people? Different circumstances? Different situations? Share as much as you are comfortable with — your thoughts help others.
