Welcome to the 110th episode of The Infinite Kaleidoscope, I'm so glad you are here.
Mirror Meditation, which I first read about in beauty editor Val Monroe’s substack, “Don’t F Up Your Face”.
"Mirror gazing (or mirror meditation) encourages you to remove the other, the inner critic, who’s with you whenever you look in the glass. Once you get past the initial self-consciousness, skepticism, and reluctance (keep at it and you will), I think you’ll find this small exercise to be a life-changing experience.
Here’s what you’re going to do.
1. Find a quiet spot with a mirror where you can easily see your eyes.
2. Set a timer for five minutes.
3. Look directly into your own eyes. You’re going to find that you’ll switch looking from eye to eye, and you may want to move closer or further from the mirror to be comfortable.
4. Track your thoughts and feelings.
Did you try it? Congratulations! You just took your first step toward seeing yourself with loving awareness. As with any exercise, you’re unlikely to detect results right away. You have to be disciplined. Do it when you get out of the shower or before bed. But do it consistently."
