Hello and welcome to the meditation.

A moment of compassion for yourself.

This practice will cultivate gentle self-compassion through awareness,

Kindness and soothing affirmations.

This is a space to turn inward,

To rest in kindness toward yourself.

Compassion begins right here,

In this moment.

Grounding in the body,

Guiding you to settle into presence.

Allow your body to settle into stillness.

Feel the rise and fall of your breath.

Each inhale nourishes,

Each exhale softens.

I invite you gently to notice any inner struggle without judgment.

If there's tension,

Fatigue or worry within you,

Simply notice it.

You don't need to fix it,

Just acknowledge it.

This is a moment of difficulty.

We are going to cultivate compassion with loving kindness,

Phrases and affirmations.

Silently or out loud,

Repeat these words.

May I be kind to myself.

May I be patient with my own heart.

May I know I am enough just as I am.

May I be kind to myself.

May I be patient with my own heart.

May I know I am enough just as I am.

Feel the warmth of these words as they settle in your chest like gentle sunlight.

We are going to expand the circle and extend compassion outwards.

And as this kindness fills you,

Allow it to radiate outward,

To loved ones,

To strangers,

To all beings.

Compassion flows endlessly when we begin with ourselves.

Take a deep breath in and a slow breath out.

Let gratitude fill your heart for showing up,

For caring,

For being human.

May this compassion guide you through your day.

Thank you.

Beautiful meditation ! We all need some compassion to ourselves !
Thank you for the reminder !
Much love and gratitude ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨

Thank you Catherine ❤️ for 5 mminutes of bliss, beautiful words and music, Thank you ❤️

Sweet lovely calm sessions to begin my day. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Wow, this was so wonderful. I love your voice and words and the beautiful music 🥰
It was so smooth and calming. Thank you Cathy for this lovely track. 🫂🤍🙏

Thanks for this lovely and gentle reminder to start with self compassion and it's easier to spread.

Lovely meditation, beautifully guided! 🌸🤍💮Thank you very much 🙏

Thank you Catherine 🙏 a lovely self compassion practice 💛 perhaps it could be re-edited to bring more of your voice guidance forward and the music more subtle and in the background. It might be my aging ears, at times it was a bit difficult to hear your voice clearly through the background music. Or, it could be ( and most probably be) my aging American ears, trying to clearly hear your British voice through the background music. When I watch BBC television, I always put on the subtitles to understand/ hear what is being spoken. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles on IT 😁 Still a 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️self compassion practice. And best of luck on your meditation certification program, that takes dedication. I hope you can utilize meditation practice with your nursing skills and bring it to your patients ❤️ Good on you! The world needs more practitioner like you! 💛😽

A great meditation, supporting us to offer gentleness to ourselves and reminding us to be kind to our hearts.
Thank you Catherine 🌸
