I Hold Myself with Reverence

🕯️ You are something to be handled with care. Not because you are fragile — but because you are the only you that has ever existed, and the only you that ever will. Through gentle breath, a body-led arrival, and spoken affirmations, you will return to the part of yourself that has been treating your own heart as ordinary. You will feel the weight of being received rather than handled. You will remember that reverence is not a reward — it is the ground you stand on. You will leave with the quiet certainty that your tenderness toward yourself does not have to be earned, and never had to be. 00:00 — Welcome and Arrival 01:30 — Settling In: The body as a place to be held 04:30 — The Theme: You are something to be handled with care 07:30 — Breathwork: Three soft breaths with the quality of reverence 09:45 — Spoken Affirmations 10:30 — Closing: Thank you for being mine 10:45 — Network Shoutouts: Two more gentle shows to explore A meditation for anyone who has been giving more gentleness to others than they have been giving to themselves.
