A guided meditation using a tree as metaphor to help you stop shrinking yourself for others. The speaker pairs breathing cues with the affirmation "I am allowed to grow at my own pace in whichever way and direction I choose," arguing that true humility isn't self-reduction.
Chapters
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. A tree doesn't shrink itself to make room for someone else's view. It doesn't stunt its growth to keep from taking up space. It just grows toward the light at its own pace, unapologetically. You've probably spent a lot of your life making yourself smaller so someone else could feel bigger. That is not humility. That's just habit. As you inhale, silently imagine yourself large in your body, large in the way you take up space and however that looks for you. Hold. And as you exhale, please silently say to yourself, I am allowed to grow at my own pace in whichever way and direction I choose. Let's do that again. Inhaling into the fullness and largeness that is you, holding, and as you exhale, silently telling yourself, I am allowed to grow at my own pace in whichever way and direction I choose. You are allowed to grow toward what feeds you. Out loud, without shrinking. I am sending you so much love. Is there someone who comes to mind that could use a little peace? Please share this with them, and please subscribe to keep returning to peace in under 2 minutes a day. Thank you so very much for being here with me today.
