Summary
Be guided in a meditation to soothe yourself from toxic emotions and negative thoughts with the power of your breath.
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 3 of a 7-Part Series Be Less Critical Meditations, Episodes 2924-2930.
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 2,933 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.3 | How are you doing today? |
| 0:10.3 | I'm Mary Mechley and I'm honored you are here showing up for yourself to give yourself |
| 0:17.1 | permission to slow down. |
| 0:20.7 | In today's episode, you're going to be guided in a breathing technique. |
| 0:26.1 | I always share insight into the week's theme before your guided meditation and the insight |
| 0:34.4 | is all focused around this week's theme of being less critical of yourself. |

| 1:26.0 | And I think that makes sense because there's a lot of research showing how your breath |
