https://cynthiaphelps.com/audio-files/

Life throws us curveballs, which can come in the form of grief, loss, disappointment, or fear. We try to push these difficult emotions away, but they often linger, creating a sense of unease and tension within us. The Soften, Soothe, and Allow practice is a gentle yet powerful tool for meeting these emotions with compassion and acceptance. Instead of resisting them, we learn to acknowledge them, soften around them, and offer ourselves the soothing comfort we all deserve.

This practice helps us move beyond the instinct to fight or flee difficult emotions. By bringing our attention to where we feel these emotions in our bodies, we can begin to understand them on a deeper level. This awareness allows us to create space for these feelings, to observe them without judgment, and ultimately, to allow them to flow through us. The act of soothing ourselves with kind words and gentle touch creates a sense of safety and reassurance, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles.

The Soften, Soothe, and Allow practice is not about eliminating difficult emotions altogether. It's about learning to navigate them with more grace and compassion. By cultivating this inner strength, we can develop a more resilient and peaceful relationship with ourselves and the world around us. This is the power of self-compassion, and it's a gift we can give ourselves every day.
