Shame often hides in the parts of ourselves we try the hardest to avoid.

Judgment.Self-criticism.The quiet inner voice telling us we are not enough.

But what if the practice isn’t to fight those parts…

What if the practice is to meet them with love?

In this live session from the ORIN Fire Gathering, Sophie Vo shares a simple yet powerful mirror practice: learning to speak to ourselves with compassion instead of judgment.

A small shift — but one that can change how we relate to every part of who we are.

Try the practice:“I love every part of myself.I accept them.I integrate them.I forgive myself.”

Notice where resistance appears.

Because often, the part of us we try to hide the most…is the part asking to be loved.

✍️ Journaling prompts:

* Which parts of myself feel hardest to love right now?

* Where do I still hold shame?

* What would acceptance look like in my thoughts, words, and actions today?

* What might integration mean for this part of me?
