I’m Jake Sutton, your host, and today we’re focusing on cultivating a Compassionate Heart—a meditation aimed at fostering self-kindness and alleviating the harsh self-criticism that often accompanies depression. By nurturing compassion for yourself, you can create a more supportive and loving inner environment. If you’re ready to embrace self-kindness, find a comfortable position, take a deep breath, and let’s begin.
