The Practice

In this meditation we practice allowing what is. Listen as Susan guides you through these steps.

• Call to mind a situation that frustrates, stresses, or worries you.

• Identify what it is you want to be different and why.

• Now allow the situation to be just as it is — uncertain, complicated, or messy.

• Become aware of all that you feel.

• Choose one of these feelings and say “yes” to it. Maybe it’s fury, hurt, pain, worry, or grief.

• Place your hand on your heart and breathe slowly.

• Say out loud, “Even though I feel ________________ , I love and accept myself.” Repeat it 10 times, or until the intensity subsides, and there’s a glimmer of acceptance
