NEW Sr. Karen Video #5: the influence of her berating self-talk

[Teri Rose, OblSB, Program Director]

Hi, everyone-

Attached is the link to watch the primary portion of my conversation with Sister Karen on Tues. I hope you can find a few minutes to watch it before our Stewardship Check-in meeting tomorrow night (via Zoom).

Sr. Karen, again, honestly shares her experience of approaching new choices. In this conversation, she shares how “berating voices” inhibit her. Watch for how in the first portion of the video, before we “turn towards” together, she speaks more in “I have to…” language. However, after turning towards she hears the words “gentleness and awareness”. We talk specifically about how this inner wisdom will guide her to “disrupt” her existing pattern of night-time snacking.

As you practice your contemplative listening (to yourself!), what do you hear emerge as being ready for your attention? Please share it here as a reply or join the Stewardship check-in tomorrow night to talk about it!

Watch Sr. Karen’s video here (gentle confidentiality reminder that this video is only for the CARE community):
