This one’s for the days when your brain won’t shut the fuck up about how you’re behind, failing, or the world’s biggest screw-up.We’ll ground, gather all that comparison bullshit into a ball, spin it fast, and launch it into the cosmos where it can’t touch you. Then we’ll call in what you actually need—compassion, safety, power—and anchor it into your body until it radiates through every inch of you.Bottom line: comparison is a liar. Your body is the truth. And the truth is, you’re not behind—you’re right where you need to be.

Meet Your Anger (Guided Visualization)
Big Takeaway: You can feel anger, survive it, and walk out stronger. You don’t have to shove it down or let it explode — you can make it your ally.This isn’t a chill, floaty meditation. It’s about walking straight into the room with your Anger, looking it in the eye, and saying: Thank you. I see you. You’ve kept me alive. Now let’s do this differently.What happens in this episode:Grounding in safety → You set up a space that’s yours, textures, sounds, light — nothing gets in unless you invite it.Meeting Anger → You open the door. You see it, feel it, notice where it lives in your body.The conversation →Thank Anger for all the ways it’s protected you.Tell it you’re safe enough now to shift.Give it a new job: protect your boundaries, keep you off toxic feeds, help you speak up instead of explode.Integration → Anchor it into your body with touch + breath. Invite Shame, Fear, Protector — all of them — to stand with you. Together: We are one. We are safe. We are not going anywhere.Re-entry → Back in the real room, you name Anger’s new job out loud. Because this isn’t just a meditation — it’s a nervous system rewrite.Why it matters:Anger isn’t your enemy.It’s been your bodyguard, your shield, your warning flare.This practice shows you how to stop fighting it — and start using it.Not to burn everything down, but to stand in your life with fire that protects, not destroys.
