Healing Journeys ~ Guided Meditations

This guided meditation invites listeners to recognize the inner critic as an automatic pattern of negative self-talk that gains power through attention and emphasizes that we have the choice to stop listening to it. By consciously redirecting attention to the present moment—through breathing, bodily awareness, or sensory focus—and meeting wounded parts with compassion instead of judgment, the inner critic can be “deleted.” This practice restores agency, peace of mind, and access to clarity, kindness, and inner wisdom.
Peace of Mind - Deleting the Inner CriticThe mind, our beautiful mind.
Our intelligence, insights, intuition, creativity,wonder, vision, and so much glorious capacity in our mindwhen it is free, clear, and peaceful.
But our minds are not always free, clear, and peaceful.
Have you noticed?
Is there sometimes a negative voice in your head?
For most of us, there is an inner critic,a voice in our head of self-criticism, self-judgment,and negative self-talk.
Take a deep focused breath,inhale and expand your chest,exhale and relax your shoulders.
As you keep breathing,consider that within your mind there is bothspeaking and listening going on.
Things are said and listened to in our mind.Sometimes we are more identified with the speaker,and sometimes we’re more identified with the listener.
Keep focusing on your breathing to regulate yourselfinto feeling a more peaceful vibration.
Our thoughts are often just rambling on and on,and we’re attentively listening,without consciously choosing to do so.It can be hypnotically automatic.
Let’s call this the inner critic, comprised of what seems likean inner judge, an inner controller, self-criticism,and negative self-talk.
Does this ever go on in your mind?How do you feel about that?
As you take some deeper breaths, considersilencing the inner critic whenever you want toand deleting it for good.
How does that feel?
You do have choice.
And you can delete the inner critic and all its voices.
This is a great turning point for us,for all of us,to realize that we can have more agencyand control over what happensin our beautiful minds.
This is why the power of your focus,the ability to steer your attention as you desire,is such a treasure.
There are many wounded parts of ourselves as well,which deserve compassion, forgiveness,and loving-kindness,not criticism.
Take a few deeper breaths.And as you do, bring some compassion,some forgiveness, and breathe loving-kindnessinto yourself.
We are adaptable, accommodating beings,and we have somehow accepted this infiltrationinto our mental body as normal.
Because we learn from everything we experience,we may have created some value from hosting the inner critic,unaware that it is an infiltration and thatit doesn’t belong to us, or in us.
It’s time to say no. No more. It’s time to hit delete,like a virus in our computers infiltrating the operating system.Delete it. Erase it.
You can do this! It just takes application, determination,perseverance, and kindness to yourself.
Ask yourself, is there really anything else you need to learnfrom being criticized, judged, abused, and bulliedby a voice in your head?
Are you ready to be done with that kind of infiltrationin your mental body?
It takes a dedicated commitment to not listen.To realize it has nothing to offer you.
Does it ever make you feel good?
It’s your choice.
And you have the power and the freedom to choosewhere you place your attention, and what you listen to,inside your head and outside your head.
Of course, sometimes there are sirens going on outside,and sometimes there are sirens going on inside,and we do need to listen.
But we get to listen from a place of conscious awareness,not just automatic hypnotic attention.
Once you absolutely decide not to listen,you empower yourself to say no.
Like a child who puts their fingers in their earsand says, “nah, nah, nah,” we can do that.
No need to think about it too much,just say, “No, I’m done.”
Be aware that the inner critic switches back and forthas a speaker and a listener inside your head,a switch and bait tactic.
So be conscious of both. Especially pay attentionto the part of you that’s listening.
And know you can at any timeconsciously redirect your attentionaway from listening to negative self-talk,which is always about the past or the future.
So placing your attention in the present momentinstantly liberates your mind.
It really doesn’t take long to silence that voiceonce you decide you’re not going to listento any of it at all.
As you diligently practice consciously redirectingyour attention every time the inner critic shows up,you will strengthen your capacity to focus as you choose.You will delete that voice and erase that programinfiltrating your mind.
You will free your beautiful mind.
Take another few deep focused breaths.Expand your chest as you breathe in,and relax your shoulders as you breathe out.Three times.
Here are some ways to instantly turn off the inner critic in any moment:First and foremost, be vigilant to notice whenever it shows up.
The inner critic feeds on your attention. Don’t give it any attention.You will delete it by completely eliminatingit from your attention.
Consciously take over both the speaking and the listening parts of your mind,they both belong only to you.Take your power back.
Catch yourself when your mind is off and running,and immediately redirect your attentionto focus on something else, anything else.
You can focus on your breathing,count your breaths, and feel your body.
Mentally name and focus on one body part at a timeas you scan your body.
Focus on anything that’s happening around you in the present moment,say something about it in your head,or name what you see around you.
Name what colors you see.
Listen to the sounds around you;
Sing, hum, or chant, giving each sound your full attention.
These are just some ways to ignore the inner criticso fully that it will die off.
It needs your attention to exist.If you don’t feed it, it cannot survive.
Stay focused in the present moment.
And be gentle with yourself.
If you find you’ve been listening for a while to an old story,especially do not let that negative voice jump inand criticize you about that!
Take another deep breath and exhale with a big sigh.
To free yourself from the inner criticis a most precious gift you can give yourself.
You will have more access to your infinite wisdomand your personal sovereignty.
You will be able to meet each moment from a place ofpeace, compassion, and forgiveness.
You will be able to center yourself in wonder,curiosity, and kindness.
You will be able to fully trust in the lovethat you truly are.
And you will have peace of mind.

Compassionately acknowledge to yourselfall that you are feeling.
From the vastness of your eternal beingto the whole range of emotions showing up, and whatever is happening in your body.
Let yourself feel deeply into the crevicesof any uncomfortable feelings and emotionsthat might be around.
Shine your light on them.Name them to yourself.
Courageously leave aside any narratives, any explanations.
Feel your feelings as frequencies,energies,sensations.
Notice any imagery, colors, shapes.
Keep breathing into your heart space.
Expand your awareness to include more of your inner peace.
What do you feel in your body?

Animals and humans.
And all you’ve ever witnessed, experienced, or heard about.No blame.Just compassion.No sides here in your infinite being.
Just compassion.
Because everyone is hurting.And only hurt people hurt others.
You no longer need to carry thatin your body or in your heart.
You can release it and still care.

You have learned from everythingyou have experienced and felt,and you are setting yourself free.
You are setting everyone free.
Step out of the past and into your heart.

By feeling everything.
All of your emotional ripples are part of your evolution.Those we call positive and those we call negative.
