One of the most important things I ever learned to do on my meditation journey is *ignoring the guided meditation teacher*
Like if the instruction doesn't work for you for some reason you're allowed to just say "Nah"
this kind of thing is why i never felt comfortable with sitting meditation and why i wouldn't recommend other people start there if they have any kind of trauma history at all. you're just practicing a freeze response. we need sound, movement, and breath
