Episode Notes:

Feeling like you don’t belong is painful and it’s lonely. This is a natural feeling and it’s important to have awareness of this feeling. Name it. Don’t be ashamed.

Barb’s Pain Meditation

I am aware of this pain

I care about this pain

May this pain release.

When ending the sitting session

May I be safe

May I be deeply happy

May I be healthy

May I live with ease
