Guided meditation mentioned in the video: Sensational Awareness

Hello, Beautiful Souls.
Many of us have learned the importance of taking responsibility for what’s happening in our lives… for the very practical reason that then we can do something about it!
When I find myself blaming someone for something that’s a sign that there’s something inside I’m not wanting to face. When I calm down enough, I sit with it (do some kind of practice that helps me explore what’s inside, see below for a free guided meditation you can use for this).
Why do we blame others for our problems in the first place? Certainly, many of us were taught to and frankly, it feels good to receive sympathy when things are going bad.

(video) “I’m broken.” can be a really strong belief. The good news, and the bad news is that the only person that can change that belief for you is you.
What do you do to shift that belief in yourself?
