hey softies! As the season changes, we feel the pull of nature to slow down and tread gently. While the wheel of grind culture might not want to slow, the billions of atoms in our bodies remember: the days are growing shorter, the nights longer, and we need rest. We need to gather our energy so we can grow again next Spring. To honor the return of Autumn, join me in extending compassion and gratitude into the world with this lovingkindness meditation.

hey softies Shame is over (if you want it). Shame at its best teaches us a valuable lesson that what we've done isn't aligned with who we want to be. At it's worst, its forced upon us by external, dominant culture messaging that wants us to comply to an impossible standard. We aren't meant to carry lingering shame forever. Once it's taught it's lesson, it's time to let go.Use this visualization practice to identify and release shame, and refresh the mind | body with new, abundant energy.The Softness is a biweekly hug for your nervous system.
