Healing Shame | A Guided Meditation with Tara Brach

[Music]

so the key in healing toxic shame and to be guided by healthy shame is self compassion and inevitably this is true for all of us as we're going to be practicing together in a moment we will continue to feel bad Ness when we encounter the imperfections of our coverings the the habits of in

different ways getting caught in anxiety or lashing out or judgment or whatever it is if we can remember our basic goodness and I often my mantras often just trust the goal trust the goal you know instead of reacting instead of defending instead of sinking it a shame if we can remember that we can then

respond to what comes up in a way that further aligns our heart we all need pathways of self compassion in response to imperfection we all need ways and we all need to help each other realize that these difficult waves we experience they're not our fault and if we trust the goodness we can actually

become the being that we want to be so with that a lot of words let's let's practice a little this meditation is on healing toxic shame and trusting the gold take a moment if you will to pause

let yourself settle might close your eyes might feel this body breathing

you might scan notice where in your life you might be reacting to imperfection you might be feeling down on yourself judging yourself feeling shame or aversion
