Soften, Soothe, Allow

If you have ever felt swept away by your feelings, Renee invites you to pause. You find a quiet spot, take three deep breaths, place a hand on your heart, then recall a time you felt mildly upset and name the emotion softly, as if consoling a friend. You notice where it sits in your body, imagine it softening and warming, and repeat the words soften, soothe, allow, giving yourself permission to feel and accept your feelings. This is a short practice for anyone who wants a gentle way to be with their emotions. This content is educational and is not a substitute for one to one professional care.
