Dedicating some time to meditation is a meaningful expression of caring for yourself that can help you move through the mire of feeling unworthy of recovery. As your mind grows quieter and more spacious, you can begin to see self-defeating thought patterns for what they are, and open up to other, more positive options.

Meditation is a tool for helping us accept the profound fact that everything changes all the time.

I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.

Even on the spiritual path, we have things we'll tend to cover up or be in denial about.

Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.

True happiness is born of letting go of what is unnecessary.
