Sunday sanctuary session...Sorry, not sorry...or, How sorry are you?
Reading a meditation about how women are conditioned to apologise for their existence, and how we say sorry without even realising we are doing it. From a book called Wise and Wild that I have had for a few years. Would love to hear how you respond after listening!

I heard this meditation many years ago and took it to heart - changing my immediate impulse to apologise when not warranted or needed. I have noticed that most men do not constantly apologise for everything they say or do - including (sometimes) when a sincere apology is warranted. I have also noticed the number of (mainly) male sports stars, celebrities and politicians who 'apologise' when they have been called out publicly for things such as racism, sexism, and many other 'isms' - I get the feeling that this is often a PR whitewash and in no way constitutes a genuine apology for harm and distress caused to others.
Meditation on courage - yes I finally did it
This meditation was a bit of an experiment - I lay down and listened to the recording myself straight afterwards, which I have never done, and I made myself cry! But then I felt great. I hope you get something out of the experience, too. I'd love to hear how it goes for you. The photo below is of a time when I had to use lots of courage, becasue I wanted to get up and play guitar and sing in front of a crowd of 150 women at Wise Women Gathering, a fantastic conference I go to every year. Funnily enough I didn't even think of this example when I was doing the meditation - I was thinking about being brave enough to walk around the shops without a bra on!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Thanks to @Robyn Diamond for the suggestion of the theme.

Thanks Kath. I finally got round to doing one of your sessions! I have contemplated for ages how I used to be brave and had more courage in my younger days. In my middle years I largely got weighed down with life, family, career and it seemed easier at times just to toe the line and get on with it. Now as I approach my wise elder years I am reigniting this courage and doing a lot more brave things deliberately and with conscious intent. Some things are harder than others. A dear friend of almost 60 years died last week and I always admired her as she was so courageous throughout her life. She always followed her heart and acted with her own integrity intact - she will continue to be my role model for living with integrity, courage and love. (Still not sure though if I would walk round the shops without a bra though!). x
New guided meditation - the beat of the drum
Listening to a drum beat is a great way to meditate, as the regular beats slow your brain waves into a meditative state without you having to do anything! Enjoy - let me know how you find it. #4 Drum meditation - Guided meditations ยท Mood Boost
