We think we need to judge and critisize ourselves to become the version of ourselves we want to become. But this is counter productive. Constant criticism (from self or others) imparts stress on the nervous system. And when we are stressed, we are impeded from taking the steps we want to overcome our struggles.
Self-compassion is the practice of treating yourself with the same warmth, care and understanding that you would offer to a dear friend or somone you love in times of struggle. It involves acknowledging your humanity and accepting perceived imperfections, as well as offering yourself forgiveness and kindness.
This practice will relax your nervous system and your inner critic, creating space for your brightest most expansive self to emerge.
This meditaiton is ideal for anyone struggling with recurring negative thoughts about themselves, episode of depression and those struggling to break free from persistant feelings of guilt and shame.
For best results we recommend wearing headphones. We do not encourage operating heavy machinary while listening to this meditation.
