18/ Trusting the process (with guided meditation!)

We are inherently worthy and valuable, yet we tend to forget this basic truth. Attacks of self-doubt and self-criticism can become so frequent that we start to believe and identify with that voice. In this episode, Ani talks about how to recognise that inner critic when it comes up and what to do in response. Did you enjoy this episode?

How to react when confronted with aggression or violence? When an argument between two strangers on a tram snowballs into a yelling match involving a dozen bystanders, Ani wonders what she can do.

Trusting the process means knowing you are exactly where you need to be right now. There is no future time where everything will be perfect. There is only accepting how you feel right now, and the best way to remember that is coming back to the breath. Join Ani as she explores this personal and universal topic and guides listeners in a short meditation designed to bring you back to your true self. / Follow Ani on Instagram @ani_changemaker or email [email protected]

Today I am grateful for... what happens when you follow the flow of the universe, encouraging synchronicities and waking up with inspiration!

Today I am grateful for... how paying a bill teaches me surrender, jamming with a stranger, and a place to call home!

Today I am grateful for... finding roots back in Belgium, a miraculous server malfunction, and feeling alllllll the emotions!

Today I am grateful for... small but noticeable shifts in perspective, intuition nudging me gently in the right direction, and Señora Maria sharing her light with me!

Today I am grateful for... Vulnerable and authentic art, the opportunity to reflect someone’s light back to them, and cake! I gush over maybe the best show I’ve ever seen at the Edinburgh Fringe. Check out @hotterproject on IG to see what I’m talking about!
