Status Updates From Radical Acceptance: Awakeni...

For the first time today I practiced two of Tara’s meditations. I practiced the forgiveness and lovingkindness meditation. This practice helped me to let go of tension and blame I had been holding towards myself, others, and situations I didn’t know were bothering me. Understanding that “everyone wants to be loved,” changes your temperament by miles, and therefore changes your attitude in the same direction!

I can already tell the implementation of RAIN meditation, reflecting on past conflicts, and seeing where I could have used the pause method in that moment is going to be a very helpful part of my journey in accepting myself and healing from less than ideal past experiences. As well as introducing compassion for others branching to the self, I’ve so far seen this book do beautiful things for my mentality.
