Enjoy this short, tender meditation inviting you to be gentle with yourself — to soften, to rest, and to hold your own heart with kindness. You can read it here in your own rhythm, or listen to it on Youtube (3:11 minutes).
Take a slow, deep breath.
Breathe in kindness… breathe out judgment.
Breathe in warmth… breathe out self-criticism.
Breathe in acceptance… breathe out shame.
There is a quiet place within you
that does not judge,
does not measure,
does not demand.
It waits for you, patient as still water.
You are not a problem to solve,
not a puzzle to fix.
You are here.
And that is enough.
Now imagine you are wrapped in a soft blanket of light.
This light does not erase what you carry.
It whispers:
“I see you.
I will hold this with you.”
Its glow is steady, comforting, warm.
With each breath, feel yourself sinking deeper into this safety.
Gently place a hand over your heart.
Feel its warmth, its softness.
This is a gesture of compassion —
not because everything is perfect,
but because you are worthy of care
even in imperfection.
Say softly to yourself:
“It’s okay.
I am doing the best I can.
I deserve gentleness.
I deserve compassion.
I deserve care.”
Let your breath deepen.
Let this kindness sink in.
Stay with this truth:
You are enough.
Exactly as you are.
