Seeing Clearly, Holding Kindly - A Self-Compassion Practice

In this practice, we explore the two wings of awareness; seeing all that arises clearly and holding all that arises with compassion. In a soft practice of opening and softening, we gradually open up further to all that is present, and find our way to hold ourselves with a deeper level of benevolence. In this way, we start to build the capacity to sit with our whole selves, being kind towards our experience.

Thank you for that.

Simply lovely and thoughtful. Thank you.

Perfect length and very different by focusing only on practicing a single, practical idea.

Thank you for this practice! Being kind towards myself is a good and great reminder while helping others.

Al, this was my first meditation with you and I’m so grateful for your kind and gentle leadership.

Can you tell me what was the marvelous music (chimes? Bells?) that opened the piece?

Many thanks and blessings,

Claudia
