Hi, welcome back to
your Daily Mindfulness.
In today's session, we're going
to talk about why you're perfectly
okay as you are, and you may
still need to make some changes.
As you hear it, that it might
sound like a bit of a contradiction
and that's because the process of
growth often holds contradictions.
In one sense, you're
okay exactly as you are.
There's a part of you that is
fundamentally whole and complete.
And in another sense, you may need
to make some changes in yourself
and how you interact with the world.
When we're born there's no idea
of anything that's wrong with us.
We're very much connected to our
essential okayness and there's
something pure and precious in that.
As we grow though and integrate with
the world, it's also important that we
adapt to certain societal expectations,
social norms for how to relate with one
another and to also develop new skills
that might not come naturally to us.
At our core, we're still whole.
We're still perfect, you could say.
But we also might not have the
slightest idea of how to hold a
conversation, be productive or
thrive in a romantic partnership.
I think it's important for us to hold
both of these realities on our journey
of growth, because when we lose touch
with our essential okayness, we can
get caught in this subconscious loop of
incessantly trying to get someplace else
in order to feel complete or fulfilled.
And when we lose touch with the reality
that we're in a human form, which
often involves needing to work on our
strengths and our weaknesses, well,
then we disconnect ourselves from
the realities of the relative world,
which can cause practical, daily,
disharmonies in different aspects of life.
So the takeaway you're okay.
And you may still want to change.
Thank you for your practice.
I'll talk to you in the
meditation and take care.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
