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.
Not to fix, not to force,
But to follow the body's course.
Let breath be your gentle guide,
With nowhere to go, and nothing to hide.
Let your hips tell stories untold,
Of burdens dropped and courage bold.
Let your spine stretch toward the skies,
A quiet reaching, soft and wise.
This isn’t for praise, not for show,
It’s a whisper your soul wants you to know.
It’s not performance—it’s your prayer,
An echo of freedom moving through air.
Let rhythm rise from deep within,
A stirring beneath your skin.
You don’t have to move to prove your worth,
Just honor the miracle of your own birth.
Sway like seaweed, loose and free,
Twist like wind moves through a tree.
Let your heartbeat set the pace—
There’s no finish line, no race.
Move because your spirit sings,
Move for the joy that movement brings.
Let your body write its truth today—
In every curve, in every sway.
What stories have I been told about what movement “should” look like, and how can I begin to rewrite them?
When does movement feel like joy, release, or connection in my body?
What kind of movement would feel like an act of love today?
