Lean Into YouGuided Practices: Connecting with the "Other"Today we are bringing you another guided meditation to help you connect with the other. This meditation was written by Alex Farrell as a way to help us resist the urge to dehumanize those that are different from us, or those that we feel have wronged us in some way. Through visualizing the things that influence our emotions, the messages we receive, and the words we speak, it becomes easier to find common ground, to see ourselves as human beings just trying to navigate the worlds that influence, mold, and shape us everyday.
