The Gift of Compassionate Self-Inquiry

If you were to Ask your heart how it’s feeling right now,

could you hold an open and loving space for the answer?

Self-Inquiry is the practice of turning inward with tender curiosity.

It means taking a moment of pause,

Ask gentle internal questions,

and attune to the wisdom that arises in your body and heart.

When we practice Awareness of our feelings,

and we intentionally Acknowledge our experiences instead of bypassing them,

curiosity will naturally arise in this place of feeling seen.

Being curious with yourself may require courage,

but when you’re brave enough to Ask for your own answers,

it brings you to deeper levels of self-trust, self-confidence, and self-connection.

✨ Compassionate self-inquiry is a necessary part of the Self-Love journey.

Compassionate curiosity is practiced with neutrality and non-judgement.

We don’t push for answers we prefer, or demand an easy fix.

We choose to simply be open to what’s true within ourselves.

We don’t Ask and then judge the answer ~

we openly receive it with love.

This is centered, thoughtful, grounded, heart-led introspection.

It allows us to uncover hidden dynamics, unconscious beliefs,

and protective patterns hiding beneath our surface,

so we can gracefully make space

where new insights and deeper understanding emerge.

Compassionate self-inquiry might Ask questions like:

• "When did this pattern start for me?"

• "What am I really feeling beneath this story I’m telling myself?"

• "What's the real reason I'm avoiding this person/situation/feeling?"

• "Why does this experience trigger me?"

• "What does my heart want me to see and know?"

• "How can I support myself with tenderness and care right now?"

Ask with the intention of turning towards your truth,

and simply Being present with what arises.

And no matter what your truth is,

tend to yourself with kindness and sooo much love.

When we approach ourselves with compassionate curiosity,

it softens our resistance and creates space for us to hold ourselves.

The priceless gift of knowing yourself more fully,

comes through the courage to Ask for, and receive, your own truth.

In this space of deeper understanding,

we naturally love ourselves more completely.

"In the symphony of self-discovery, let the notes of introspective questions resonate.

For in asking, we uncover the profound melody of understanding." ~ Beverly J. Miller 

💖 I encourage you to Ask yourself one of my favorite questions (now and often):

"What’s the most loving thing I can do for myself right now?"

May you be brave enough to trust your answer…

And may you love yourself enough to give it to yourself.
