TW: Residential Schools in Canada

This is my pledge to do better as an ally and settler, to educate myself further, and to show solidarity to the Indigenous community.

This week I am offering a guided Loving Kindness Meditation, also know as the Metta Prayer. It starts by acknowledging and blessing oneself, then gradually expands outwards wishing good intentions to all beings. I was feeling called to share this as I believe that we are all in need of some extra loving kindness these days. As always, thank you for joining me.

In today's episode I am discussing the practice of setting healthy boundaries. This is something I am really working on and a recent meditation sparked my inspiration to talk about it. It's a practice and it's so important for our mental health and well-being. I could probably have so many more discussions about this topic, so I would love to hear your thoughts.
