Self-Compassion

What is Self-Compassion?

It’s a practice where we learn to be a good friend to ourselves. When we need it the most, to become an inner ally rather than an inner enemy. Instead of being harshly critical when noticing personal shortcomings, we are supportive and encouraging. Instead of attacking and berating ourselves for being inadequate, we offer ourselves warmth and unconditional acceptance. When life circumstances are challenging and feel too difficult to manage, we actively soothe and comfort ourselves.

Here are some of my favorite self-compassionate meditations.
