Great voice and pacing. The same content with more silence for practice and correspondingly longer duration, say 10 mins, would be perfect!

Thank you 😊 Thank you. I wake up feeling uncomfortable inside. This enabled me to be with it, and let it go, somewhat 🥰

Very helpful. You shared that by doing this practice, we are helping our nervous system switch from the threat response sub-system to the care sub-system. That idea was new to me, made sense, was so simple and practical that it helped me also move from self-judgment to self-acceptance in the moment.

Being kind to oneself means accepting what and who you are. Something I need to practice daily and will set this intention. Thank you for this lovely guidance.

This was a delightful practice. I felt my body relax all over. I didn’t know self-compassion was this powerful! 🌸
