(Taken from the original video description on YouTube- credit to the creator) This guided meditation invites you to step into a moment of self-compassion by gently bringing awareness to your breath, body, and internal dialogue. It begins with grounding—finding a comfortable posture and tuning into your breath—then guides you toward noticing any self-critical thoughts or emotional pain without judgment. Through soothing prompts, the practice encourages you to treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you’d offer a friend, using warm imagery and compassionate reflections. Over the course of the session, you’re reminded that self-care is not indulgent—but essential—and that, even amid life’s difficulties, you deserve gentleness, acceptance, and connection.
