RAIN Of Self-Compassion

This short practice can be used when challenging emotions are present to bring mindfulness and compassion to gently explore what's happening within. The 4 stages (Recognise, Allow, Investigate and Nurture) help us find our tender spots and offer them the nurturing they need. It can also be practiced regularly so that it becomes a go to habit for when stress arises, or used to explore old challenges we are still holding resistence against. As C.S Lewis said 'I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.'
