1. Noting Practice
A simple way to recognize what is here without judgment.
“There is fear.” “There is tightness.” “There is sadness.”
2. Allowing Practice
A soft way to let experience be present without fighting it.
Allowing does not mean liking something. It means making a little room for what is already here.
3. Three Embraces
A gentle three-step way to meet suffering with awareness and kindness.
Recognize. Allow. Bless.
4. Touch Practice
A compassionate body-based practice for fear, overwhelm, and inner distress.
Gentle touch can help the nervous system feel accompanied and safe.
5. Healing Phrases
Simple words you can use in moments of pain, fear, shame, confusion, or self-criticism.
Words can become a form of inner companionship.
