Meditation Description

Have you ever wished for a voice of unconditional love and support, especially during difficult times? This guided meditation is your invitation to connect with that voice within.

As a companion to the Stillness in the Storms episode, “The Parent You Never Knew You Had,” this practice will help you create a safe inner space to meet and embrace the wise, compassionate, and reassuring parent that resides within you. Allow yourself to move from self-criticism to deep self-acceptance and feel the profound comfort of coming home to yourself.
