Summary
Be guided as you ground yourself when managing difficult life challenges.
Meet Abie, your fellow meditator who has been following along with the meditations for more than 7 years. The theme he selected for you this week is Be Less Critical. You're guided in meditations to help you focus on the positive aspects of yourself and others. In each day's episode, you're guided, as always, with insight into the week's theme followed by a guided meditation.
This is part 6 of a 7-Part Series Be Less Critical Meditations, Episodes 2924-2930.
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:
Select someone to compliment each day. For extra bonus points, graciously accept when others compliment you.
A DIFFERENT MEDITATION TECHNIQUE EVERY DAY FOCUSED ON A WEEKLY THEME:
You are guided with a different meditation technique every day that is customized for the week's theme. Weave the techniques into the most stressful times of your day to manage difficult emotions.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, how are you doing? I welcome you back to our series this week to be less critical and this is episode |
| 0:11.0 | 2,935 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Mechley and I'm honored you are here showing up for yourself |
| 0:22.0 | and I'm also honored that a fellow meditator was interviewed this week and shared the theme that he selected, the challenge that he selected and all the techniques |
| 0:37.0 | and in today's episode we are at day 6 and so I'm going to layer together the techniques you've been exploring all week long |
| 0:50.0 | so this is going to be a beautiful meditation flow to be less critical |
| 0:56.0 | I always share insight with you before you're guided in the meditation |
| 1:01.0 | this is a way for you to go a little more deeply with the meditation theme |
| 1:08.0 | so AB is from Israel, he's a librarian there and one thing he does that's so beautiful is he shares a T ceremony that he creates with people who come into his library |
| 1:27.0 | and he selects a theme for the ceremony and he even selects a book that goes along with the theme |
| 1:35.0 | and he sits and they talk together and this is such a beautiful way to connect with people especially it seems like a long lost art |
| 1:47.0 | as we rarely connect personally anymore because it's so easy to instantly text someone or email or FaceTime with someone |
| 2:00.0 | so if you could do a little challenge this week as the weekend is coming up I invite you to think about someone you'd like to connect with |
| 2:13.0 | and invite this person to connect with you it may be in person or maybe by Zoom of course in person is best but that might not be possible |
| 2:25.0 | you may know people who don't live near you that you still like to connect with and think about what you want to talk about when you connect with this person |
| 2:38.0 | you'll find that your interaction is much more uplifting you'll find that you talk about things that are more meaningful |
| 2:50.0 | and that your conversation isn't all over the place this is a beautiful way to connect with someone |
| 2:59.0 | so I reached out to someone another fellow meditator that I've wanted to get to know better |
| 3:05.0 | and she and I connect on Instagram and we also write each other letters |
| 3:12.0 | a couple months ago one of your challenges was to begin a letter writing exchange with someone to revive the lost art of letter writing |
| 3:24.0 | it's amazing how you clarify thoughts and ideas and how deeply you do connect with someone when you write letters to them |
| 3:33.0 | this person is actually a journalist in Washington DC with Reuters and it's been fascinating getting to know a little about her world there |
| 3:45.0 | so I'm going to connect with her on a Zoom call on Monday we're connecting and I haven't picked out the theme yet |
