It’s important to realize that our parents are human, and the way they learned to express their love is not a reflection of who we are. They might not realize they have a lifetime of their own traumas and negative conditioning that has gone unhealed and, therefore, unintentionally pass it down. Although they may have done their best, we might not have gotten what we needed from them. Even if they didn’t repeat the same mistakes that were done to them while they were growing up, they will inevitably make a whole new set, as all of us parents do since we are all imperfect beings and are learning as we go. As adults, it’s now up to us to heal ourselves, to unlearn our negative conditioning and “re-parent our inner child.” This can bring healing in every aspect of your life- in mind, body and spirit- as well as benefit your own children if you have any.
HOW TO USE YOUR MALA:
Starting next to the guru bead, move your fingers from one counting bead to the next as you say the affirmations. Once you've returned to the guru bead, you have completed a full meditation!
