Morning: Soften the Self-Blame

For the voice that wakes up saying it was your fault. If you woke up replaying something you said or did, this gentle morning meditation is for you. We do not fight the voice of blame. It is trying to keep you safe, badly. We thank it, find where it sits in the body, and let that place soften with each out-breath. Then three wishes to carry into the day: may I be kind to myself today, may I put down what I cannot change, may I know I am enough, even on the days I get it wrong. Soft music underneath. Sitting or lying down, both fine.
