Healing from a toxic relationship can be a long and difficult process, but it is essential for your mental and emotional well-being. One way to facilitate this process is through the practice of meditation. Meditation is a simple yet powerful tool that can help you calm your mind, increase self-awareness, and find inner peace and clarity. In this article, we will explore how meditation can help you heal from a toxic relationship and provide some tips on how to get started with this practice.
If you are in a toxic relationship, it is important to recognize that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. It is not your responsibility to fix or change the other person, and you have the right to seek help and support for yourself.
How meditation can help heal a toxic relationship:
It helps reduce stress and anxiety: Toxic relationships can take a toll on your mental and emotional health, leading to increased stress and anxiety. Meditation has been shown to be an effective tool for reducing stress and anxiety by calming the mind and promoting relaxation.
It promotes self-awareness: Toxic relationships can often involve a lack of self-awareness or the inability to recognize unhealthy patterns. Meditation can help you increase self-awareness and gain clarity on your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to make better decisions for yourself.
It helps cultivate compassion and understanding: Toxic relationships often involve a lack of compassion and understanding for the other person. Meditation can help you cultivate compassion and understanding for yourself and others, leading to more healthy and fulfilling relationships.
Tips for getting started with meditation:
Find a quiet, comfortable space: To get the most out of your meditation practice, it is important to find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down and relax.
Choose a specific time and place to meditate: Establishing a regular meditation practice can be helpful, so try to choose a specific time and place to meditate each day. This could be first thing in the morning, before bed, or during your lunch break.
Start with a short meditation: If you are new to meditation, it can be helpful to start with a short meditation of just a few minutes. You can gradually increase the length of your meditation sessions as you become more comfortable with the practice.
Use a guided meditation: If you are having trouble quieting your mind or focusing on your breath, a guided meditation can be helpful. There are many guided meditations available online or through apps that can help you get started.
Be patient and kind to yourself: Meditation can be challenging at first, and it is normal to have thoughts and distractions come up during your practice. Remember to be patient and kind to yourself, and know that it takes time and practice to develop a consistent meditation practice.

EXERCISE TRANSCRIPT:
Close your eyes and ask yourself:
Who is someone in my life that I really donβt like right now?
Do you know who it is?
Okay, now hold your hand out in front of you, palm down.
And think of 5 reasons why you donβt like this person.
For each reason close a finger.
All done?
What feelings do you have right now?
Notice that your hand has formed a fist.
Our negative feelings for others close off our spiritual connection to them.
Now turn your hand over.
Count off 5 positive attributes about this person.
For each positive attribute you can think of, stretch out one of your fingers until all five are outstretched and your palm is open to the sky.
What feelings do you have now?
Your palm is outstretched, open to them, to others and to God.
Dwell here, in the generosity of your open spirit.
