Who are you without everything you've ever been told about yourself?
From childhood, we begin collecting identities: I'm the responsible one. I'm too sensitive. I'm anxious. I'm successful. I'm the helper. I'm spiritual. I'm not enough. Over time, these ideas can become so familiar that we stop recognizing them as concepts and begin believing they are who we are.
In this deeply contemplative guided meditation, Jody Agard explores the teachings of A Course in Miracles on self-concept and invites you into a direct experience of what remains when the familiar stories and identities of the personal self are gently questioned.
Rather than trying to replace a negative self-image with a better one, this non-dual meditation and self-inquiry practice goes deeper:
What if what you truly are has never been an image at all?
Drawing from A Course in Miracles, non-duality, spiritual awakening, self-inquiry, awareness, and the recognition of our true nature, this meditation isn't asking you to create a better version of yourself. It's an invitation to question the need for a self-image altogether. For these thirty minutes, allow yourself the freedom of not knowing who you are according to the world, and rest as the quiet knowing in which every identity, thought, and story appears and disappears.
You are not the story.
You are That in which every story is known.

In her new four-part live series — True Meditation: The Recognition of the Infinite I AM, Jody Agard offers a radically different approach: meditation isn’t about controlling your experience, but discovering the awareness that’s already here. Through self-inquiry, guided meditation, and practical exploration, you’ll discover how to relate to your thoughts with less struggle, experience greater ease and clarity, and carry that grounded awareness into relationships, decisions, and daily challenges.
