@KristyWilliams and myself just finished teaching a six week live online course on Mindful Self-Compassion with 17 inspiring, open-hearted and engaged humans who all wanted to learn to cultivate a kinder relationship to themselves and their problems. It's amazing the safety and sense of community that can develop (even online) in just six weeks. One of our participants wrote: "it (the course) has certainly helped me to focus better, manage stress better and have already i...ncreased my confidence. The tools have helped me to create space for myself, give me permission to discard the negative self-talk and focus on intentions and more positive outcomes" #mindfulselfcompassion #community #lovingkindness

Healing is a layered and complex process <3

This is a simple mindfulness practice that helps cultivate awareness of what we are feeling when we are feeling it, so that we can be there for ourselves in a compassionate way when we are struggling. #mindfulselfcompassion #stressmanagement #mindfulnesspractice

Mindfulness helps us 'feel what we feel' and sit with those feelings, thoughts, sensations. Self-Compassion taps into our innate Soothing System which is hard-wired to respond to touch, warmth and kindness. Mindful Self-Compassion Training helps us cultivate these tools and build emotional resiliency. ... Check out our upcoming training https://compassioninspiredhealth.com//6-week-sc-mindful-s/
