What if your harshest inner critic isn’t the enemy, but a confused part of you that’s desperately trying to keep you safe?In this episode, I speak with Loch Kelly – non-dual teacher and psychotherapist – about how to transform self-attack into genuine inner support.We explore:Why big spiritual openings don’t automatically heal shame, anger or insecurityHow the inner critic is actually a protective part, not a defectThe trap Loch calls the “witness protection programme” – when mindfulness makes you numb, not freeHow to relate to fear, shame and anger with real compassion, without bypassingMoving from head to heart and living from what Loch calls awake loving flowLoch also guides a couple of short “glimpses” you can follow along with, to experience this shift directly as you listen.If you’ve done “the work” but still feel hijacked by your inner critic, this one’s for you.👉 WORK WITH SIMON - free 15 minute 1:1 consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-call👉 OCTOBER DAY RETREAT with Simon & Alex — a full day of inquiry, presence and practice: https://shift-happens-retreat.subscribepage.io/👉 WEBSITE: https://www.simonmundie.com👉 LOCH'S ONE DAY WORKSHOP in London on September 12th: https://www.alternatives.org.uk/event/experience-effortless-mindfulness👉 Get 20% off LOCH'S MINDFUL GLIMPSES APP: https://mindfulglimpses.com/specialoffer/ Hosted on Acast.
