[Meditation #59] See, Love, and Appreciate Yourself
The goal of meditation is to help you see yourself as you truly are, so that you can show yourself and everyone around you who you are without fear and without worrying about others’ opinions.

Letting go of OLD behavioral patterns
This meditation will help you acknowledge and release old (destructive) patterns of behavior and live in alignment with your highest choice.

There are situations when you need to ask for help: to ask a pressing question about something you’re not competent in, to request a favor, or to ask for a promotion.
Some people feel internal discomfort even with small requests. They think: “I’d rather do without this or handle it myself than ask someone.”
If you identify with this category, let’s explore what’s behind it.

The inner critic: enemy or friend
You’ve had a brilliant idea, you’re inspired and full of energy, when suddenly a creaky little voice inside pipes up: “And where are we rushing off to? Nothing good will come of your plan anyway!”
If this sounds familiar, then you’ve encountered your Inner Critic more than once.
What exactly is it? And how can you make peace with it?
Condemnation is the main obstacle on the path of spiritual development.
