RAIN For When Words Hurt: A Practice For Sensitive Hearts

I've created this meditation for anyone whose heart feels things deeply. Sometimes another person's words can stay with us and cause real pain. It might be a comment, a tone, or just a look, and we feel ourselves tighten or become unsettled, especially if we’re sensitive by nature.

In this practice, I guide you through RAIN, inspired by Tara Brach’s teaching, which I’ve been practising for over a decade. It’s a simple, yet powerful, way to move from feeling triggered or overwhelmed into something calmer, steadier and more grounded.

Together, we’ll recognise what’s happening, allow it space, explore it gently, and offer ourselves the kindness we need.

A supportive practice for those moments when other people’s words knock you off balance, and you'd like to find a way to come back home to yourself again.
