How often do we speak to ourselves with harshness or doubt?Lately, I’ve become much more mindful of the words I use when I talk about myself — both in my own head and out loud. And once I noticed it in me, I started to see it everywhere around me: people apologizing for existing, saying “I’m terrible at this,” shrinking themselves.

It breaks my heart.We don’t always feel confident, especially in group settings. We tend to compare ourselves — and only focus on the areas where we feel we’re lacking. But do you know that feeling when someone sincerely says, “You did great” or “I love what you shared”? It’s like a soft hug for the soul.

And yet… what if we didn’t have to wait for others to affirm us?What if we could give ourselves that feeling — every single day?

We are all wonderfully unique, complex, talented beings. We each carry beauty, wisdom, creativity. That alone deserves to be honored.

So in this month’s Yoga Nidra, I invite you to celebrate yourself.To pause.To soften your gaze.To look at who you are with kindness and care.Let’s imagine ourselves lying in a wide open field, painting our own inner self-portrait — not with judgment, but with compassion.

Let’s forgive.Let’s embrace.Let’s remember: we are all works of art.

And I feel truly lucky to be surrounded by a community of humans who value connection rooted in gentleness and presence.Thank you for being here.Thank you for being you.You are magnificent.And I’m honored to share a little stretch of this journey with you.
