This short meditation on self-compassion is offered by Ajahn Brahmali, a senior Buddhist monk and teacher based at Bodhinyana monastery, Perth, Australia.
It provides an opportunity to relax and think about how we can relate to ourselves in a kinder way, seeing ourselves as being just as human as everyone else.
Please note: there are periods of silence in the guided meditation. These are to allow you to connect with whatever is showing up for you in the moment. Ajahn Brahmali gives an indication at the point when the meditation ends.
