Holding Ourselves In Tenderness

Before we hold ourselves with genuine loving-kindness and compassion, we need to experience something much more basic and simple: heartfelt care. This quality of tenderness or warmth, called 'tsewa' in Tibetan, is a foundational aspect of awareness that we can always bring to our body, our mind, and the fullness of our experience. Learning to rest in this affectionate presence expands our ability to show up for ourselves, and, eventually, genuinely care for others.

Kind, gentle awareness of the body, mind, and person with benefit for all. Beautiful and peaceful. Thank you.

A resting and gently guided meditation. Thanks a million 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very clear and soothing and well guided. I am just over a week post-top surgery. Kindness for my shifting sense of body and gender, for my experiences of discomfort through healing, was very necessary. Thank you.

Wonderful meditation! I will practice with this many times. Thank you!
