This is a practice of softening into what’s present, getting curious about how it moves, and offering yourself nurturing along the way. You’ll be guided to meet whatever is here, whether it be moods, contractions, confusions, or something else, with a quality of allowing and curiosity. Can you let it be here without fighting it? What are all the ways you feel what you’re feeling? As experiences move and shift, you might be able to touch into the recognition that it’s not you, not yours. And then tenderness: It’s okay. This, too.

This meditation was guided during my 4-month Mindfulness Facilitation Certification Program.
