Do you ever catch yourself trying to force your mind to be quiet, believing you need to get rid of your ego or push away your "negative" emotions? I used to think meditation was about silencing every part of me that felt wounded or messy. But what if that ego is really just the child inside, desperate to be seen and heard? Every time I tried to ignore her, I was only deepening her pain. Maybe the real healing begins when we finally stop, listen, and let her know she matters.
