This month I’m teaching a workshop called Fierce Self-Compassion. Today, I’ll be sharing a brief lovingkindness meditation from that class that focuses on yourself. Self-love is not selfish. I see it as a crucial building block towards living an authentic, wholehearted life.

You can find an extended 20 minute practice of lovingkindness on my website, www.yourmindfulcoach.com by clicking on the “guided mindfulness recordings” button and selecting the entry from September 2015, “Body Sensations and Lovingkindness.”
