Summer of Self Love is a 13-week journey of mindful self-care, inspired by the heart of the 1960s Summer of Love. Each week offers a new theme to support your nervous system and nourish your spirit through daily practices, guided meditations, journal prompts, poetry, and more. Reconnect with yourself, one breath and one act of love at a time.

Sensory Healing Week Six title banner in retro brown typography with underline and decorative asterisk

Come back to the texture,
to the warm cup in your hand,
to the song humming just beneath your ribs.

Let lavender speak,
let sunlight touch your cheek like a friend.

Your senses are not distractions—
they are directions.
They are doorways to presence,
to pleasure, to peace.

Feel the world gently.
Let it love you back.

What tone does my inner voice usually carry—and where did that voice first learn its language?

What would shift if I made kindness my default setting in how I speak to myself?

What’s one kind sentence I wish someone had said to me when I was younger—and can I say it to myself now?
