#ourCriticalVoice #compassion #reality #mindfulness #meditation #zenwords #galeyman Meditation allows us to notice the critical voice more clearly and to question it in a compassionate way - comparing the story it is telling us about ourselves and the world, with the reality that we can see directly in front of us. Just like with our thoughts, we don’t try and push the voice away or battle against it (it’s there anyway so we may as well face it), but by shining a light upon it we can reveal it for what it is - a negatively-biased bully - and begin to question WHY the voice speaks to us in such a way.
