Welcome to this guided meditation for transcendence where we explore the quiet truth that softness is not weakness—it is strength in its purest form.
We live in a culture that tells us strength means control, toughness, and never breaking. But real courage is not about hiding your vulnerability—it is about meeting it with compassion. This meditation invites you to soften, to release the armor, and to remember that your openness is the heart of your resilience.
In this practice, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Embrace vulnerability as a form of inner strength.
✨ Meet yourself with self-compassion and tenderness.
✨ Release the pressure to always be strong and unshakable.
✨ Discover courage in openness and authenticity.
✨ Rest in the stillness of transcendence meditation.
Whether you are healing, growing, or simply needing space to breathe, this meditation will help you reconnect with your softness—and discover the strength that lives within it.
🌿 Why Vulnerability is Strength
True strength is not about never bending. It is about being human enough to feel. Vulnerability allows us to connect, to heal, and to love without fear. In this meditation, you will use sound as a neutral anchor—not a mantra, not a belief system, just a simple vibration to rest your awareness on.
Each time your mind wanders, you gently return—not with judgment, but with tenderness. This practice mirrors life itself: every time you soften rather than harden, you discover a strength that no amount of control can give you.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
