MEDITATION: Negative Self Talk and Our Divine Essence (Parashat Behar)

In this meditation, we look at the prohibition against ona’at devarim, speaking in a way that is shaming or hurtful to another person, and we apply it to ourselves and to our own internal criticism and shaming and negative self-talk. We take some time to notice it and shine a light on this inner talk, and then we invite it to see our divine connection and the possibility of freedom (deror) and returning to the home of our original whole self.
