But what does that even look like?

What does loving ourselves mean?

And how do we know when we’ve reached that level ofself-compassion?

This meditation is meant to explore all of those questions and more.

You know instinctively in your heart that they deserve safety, nurturing, and love.

Now, let’s practice turning that sense of worthiness onto ourselves.

If you feel discomfort, that’s OK, too.
