  This is a guided loving-kindness meditation for cultivating a stronger sense of self-esteem and self-love. While loving-kindness meditations vary widely depending on the instructor's or practitioner's references, they always involve extending well-wishes. The person to whom you extend the well-wishes and what they are depend on the meditation's purpose. In this meditation, you will start by extending the four well-wishes that Sophie has chosen to someone you care about and then to yourself. We do this because extending the well-wishes to yourself first may be too challenging if your self-esteem is low. Starting with someone important to you may ease the process. The author has also changed the typical phrasing of the well-wishes from, for example, "may you be safe" to "may you feel safe" since it is possible to be safe, loved, etc. and not feel like you are. 
  Loving-kindness meditations originated in the Buddhist meditation technique metta bhavana. However, the technique is not necessarily religious. This recording does not use any religious or spiritual language. All meditations produced by Sophie Grace Meditations are written to fit everyone, regardless of whether you consider yourself religious or atheistic. Science has shown that simply imagining you extend well-wishes to others in a relaxed state can increase your capacity for empathy and love, make you feel happier and more peaceful, and have measurable positive effects on your physical health in as few as six weeks. 
  Sophie Påhlsson, the person behind Sophie Grace Meditations, is a Swedish meditation instructor who started writing guided meditations for personal use because she found that the market in Sweden lacked the content she wanted to listen to. Since Sophie Grace Meditations released her first products, they have collectively been streamed and bought over one million times.

  Healing the Wounds of Rejection...

  An intimate, vulnerable and, compassionate conversation about the pain of rejection, filled with practical, biblical guidance to heal and move on with personal stories from beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer, Ginger Stache, and dozens of other women who have risen from the ashes of loss.   In this era of epidemic loneliness, widely beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer and her partner in ministry Ginger Stache offer a vulnerable, intimate, and compassionate conversation about the shame and the pain of rejection and the pathway to healing.   We live in a time of overwhelming loneliness and disconnection. At least one in four Americans today are living in estrangement from a family member, and over 50% of us experience periods of disconnection from close relatives. No matter who we are, the sting of rejection touches us. As a child, you may have experienced bullying or even a parent or sibling who failed to acknowledge your value and love you as you needed to be loved. As we grow older, the rejections we experience pile upon one another—a boss who offers constant criticism, a spouse who walks away and leaves us devastated, a friend who ditches us when life gets tough.   Rejection is a common denominator of the human experience, and many of us develop into people who view the world through the lens of rejection as our pain causes us to burrow further into isolation, disappointment, and sadness. Here, through Joyce’s personal story of abuse and abandonment and Ginger’s journey of shock and betrayal in marriage, you will find community in the fact that you are not alone, as well as hope for the dawning of new possibilities.   In this book, Joyce Meyer and Ginger Stache are determined to banish the stigma of rejection by leading readers to the healing balm of God’s unconditional love. Through facing our pain head-on, learning to embrace the truth of our absolute acceptance in Christ, and understanding how others may react to us and to the world out of their own lens of rejection, we can grow in confidence, develop healthy relationships, and find lasting acceptance.This book also contains study questions with each chapter, perfect for group study or individual reflection.
