Meeting You again: A Practice of seeing beyond labels with jennifer england

In this companion to my conversation with Joshin Byrnes on The Vowing Mind, here's a short practice of seeing those you love—and those you judge—with fresh eyes.

We all carry fixed ideas of who others are: the reliable one, the difficult one, the person we think we've got dialed. In this guided meditation, you’ll be encouraged to loosen those ideas, and to meet others anew, with curiosity and compassion.

This practice will help you recognize the complexity and unfolding nature of those around you—their strengths and struggles, the systems that shaped them, and the mystery beyond what we think we know.

You'll experience:
– A short grounding and breath awareness
– An inquiry into see someone you love as whole, dynamic, and unknowable
– A closing invitation to meet them again and again with curiosity.

Whether you’re working with a loved one or someone you find challenging, this practice offers a potent return to presence and reconnection. 

✨ You can listen to this practice before or after my conversation with Joshin Byrnes, The Vowing Mind, or return to it anytime you want to meet another human being more freshly.
