Self Compassion Meditation: Three Kind Sentences

A self compassion meditation built on three kind sentences. You bring to mind something you have been hard on yourself about, notice where it sits in the body, and repeat three simple lines until they land: this is hard right now, I am not the only one, may I be kind to myself here. Warm chamber music. About three minutes.

Think of something you have been hard on yourself about this week. Not the biggest thing. Something small. Notice where it sits in the body. The chest. Stomach. The throat. If it feels right. Rest a hand there. Or on your heart. Feel the warmth of your own hands. We will use three short sentences. Say them slowly. Inside. And let them learn. This is hard right now. Not pretending it is fine. Just naming it. This is hard right now. I am not the only one who feels this. Somewhere. . . Many people are carrying the same weight tonight. I am not the only one who feels this. May I be kind to myself here. The way you would speak to a good friend. May I be kind to myself here. Once more, All three, A little slower. This is hard right now. I am not the only one. May I be kind to myself here. Notice what changed. Maybe a lot. Maybe very little. Both are fine. You can come back to these three sentences anytime. On a hard afternoon. In a difficult conversation. Namaste.
