When life feels busy or your mind won’t settle, it’s easy to lose touch with the simple goodness already inside you. This guided meditation helps you release tension, rest in calm awareness, and open your heart with kindness and compassion. Over time, it’s a gentle way to come home to yourself — peaceful, present, and already enough.
