Light & Self-Acceptance

Every Moment Is Sacred is a podcast hosted by Rain Elizabeth Stickney, focusing on interweaving meditation and healing into everyday life. This episode offers a guided meditation that begins with encouraging listeners to get settled and consciously breathe, while reflecting on their own light and and the light they see around them. The wise words of John Lewis are shared that begin with, “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone – any person or any force – dampen, dim or diminish your light.”

Listeners are invited to accept themselves fully, align with their values, and envision a world community of inclusivity and fairness. The episode also highlights various meditation offerings and retreats available through Stillwater Meditation. Although timely for recent events in the United States, this meditation was originally recorded on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
