WORDS HEAL ME
A 7–Day Gentle Self-Talk Journey
by G. Ross Clark

[ Bird Icon Here ]
WORDS HEAL ME – INTRODUCTION

This 7-day journey teaches you the foundations of gentle self-talk. Each day builds on the previous one. You will learn how to meet yourself with kindness, name what you feel, respond gently, include your body, hold difficult parts with compassion, receive support from Love, and finally integrate a new way of being with yourself.

Move slowly. Be kind. Take breaks. Healing begins with gentleness.

============================================================

DAY 1 — MEETING MYSELF KINDLY

Introduction
Today you begin by softening the way you speak to yourself. You practice meeting yourself with gentleness instead of criticism.

Healing Phrase
“I’m here with you.”

Practice (5–10 minutes)

1. Find a quiet place to sit or lie down.

2. Notice how your body feels.

3. Place a hand on your heart or belly.

4. Repeat softly: “I’m here with you.”

5. Let the phrase match your breathing.

6. Notice any small shift in warmth, space, or breath.

Reflection Questions
• What was it like to say “I’m here with you” to myself?
• Did any resistance, comfort, or numbness appear?
• What changed in my breath or body?

============================================================

DAY 2 — NAMING WHAT’S HERE

Introduction
Naming what you feel helps your nervous system settle. This is not judgment—just gentle acknowledgment.

Healing Pattern
“There is ______ here.”

Examples
“There is anxiety here.”
“There is heaviness here.”
“There is sadness here.”
“There is numbness here.”

Practice (5–10 minutes)

1. Pause and notice your body.

2. Ask quietly: “What am I feeling right now?”

3. Choose the closest true word.

4. Say gently: “There is ______ here.”

5. Combine with Day 1 if you wish:
   “There is anxiety here… and I’m here with you.”

Reflection Questions
• What did I notice when I named my experience?
• Did naming make things clearer or softer?
• How did my body respond?

============================================================

DAY 3 — OFFERING A GENTLE RESPONSE

Introduction
Today you learn to respond to your inner experience with warmth. This teaches your system that you are safe and supported.

Healing Phrases
“It’s okay to feel this.”
“You don’t have to go through this alone.”
“This is hard, and I’m here with you.”

Practice (7–10 minutes)

1. Start by naming what you feel.

2. Offer a gentle response.

3. Repeat slowly, matching your breath.

4. Notice any inner reactions (doubt, softening, resistance).

5. Stay kind no matter what arises.

Reflection Questions
• How did responding gently change my experience?
• What part of me reacted most strongly?
• What tone feels comforting to me?

============================================================

DAY 4 — LETTING THE BODY BE INVOLVED

Introduction
Healing words become more powerful when the body feels included. Today you speak to your body directly.

Healing Phrases
“Body, I’m listening.”
“Thank you, body, for carrying me.”

Practice (7–10 minutes)

1. Sit or lie comfortably.

2. Slowly scan from your feet to your head.

3. Notice any tension, heaviness, or numbness.

4. Place a hand where you feel most neutral or safe.

5. Say gently: “Body, I’m listening.”

6. Stay with one area for a few minutes.

Reflection Questions
• What did my body show me today?
• How did my body respond to acknowledgment?
• What part of me needs more gentleness?

============================================================

DAY 5 — WALKING WITH THE DIFFICULT PARTS

Introduction
Today you meet the hurting parts inside you—fear, shame, sadness, anger, loneliness—with compassion instead of pressure.

Healing Phrases
“This part of me is hurting. May I meet it kindly.”
“I see you, and I won’t turn away.”

Practice (10–15 minutes)

1. Identify a recent emotional moment.

2. Sense the part of you that feels this most strongly.

3. Name it gently: “There is a scared part here.”

4. Offer your phrase kindly.

5. Hold steady even if the part reacts.

6. Thank the part for showing itself.

Reflection Questions
• Which part arose today?
• How did this part respond to gentle attention?
• What does this part need from me?

============================================================

DAY 6 — LETTING LOVE OR WARMTH SUPPORT ME

Introduction
You do not need to do healing alone. Today you let Love, warmth, Presence, God, or Pure Mind hold your experience with you.

Healing Phrases
“I am held in gentleness.”
“It all belongs in Love.”
“May Love hold everything I feel.”

Practice (10–15 minutes)

1. Get comfortable and breathe slowly.

2. Bring to mind something you are struggling with.

3. Imagine a field of warmth or Love surrounding you.

4. Say your phrase softly: “It all belongs in Love.”

5. Let Love hold both you and your experience.

6. Rest quietly in silence.

Reflection Questions
• What does Love or gentleness mean to me personally?
• Did imagining a larger Presence help me soften?
• Which phrase felt most true or comforting?

============================================================

DAY 7 — A NEW WAY OF BEING WITH MYSELF

Introduction
