A Guided Meditation For Meeting Yourself With Kindness with Rebecca Turner, LMFT, BCN

There are moments when the mind reacts so quickly that a small difficulty suddenly feels heavier than it needs to be. That inner sting can grow sharper once judgment or pressure starts to pile on.

This practice explores the idea of the two arrows. The first arrow is the real pain or challenge that lands in our day. The second is the added hurt that comes from self criticism, resistance, or the belief that we should be handling things differently. It’s a cycle that can leave the heart tense and the body on guard.

In this guided exercise led by Rebecca Turner, LMFT, BCN, you’ll be invited to slow down, notice what’s present, and connect with a more compassionate way of responding to yourself. Through gentle awareness of the body and heart space, this meditation helps cultivate warmth, kindness, and a grounded sense of care during difficult moments. It’s a space to breathe, soften, and reconnect with the part of you that knows how to support others and is learning how to extend that same support inward.

As you move through the practice, consider one small place in your life where offering yourself kindness might shift how you carry the day. Even a tiny moment of compassion can change the tone of everything that follows. 🤍
