Description: Neuroscience has shown that self-compassion has a natural antidepressant effect on the brain. When we practice self-compassion, it can help to regulate and soothe our nervous system, while sending a signal to the brain that we are safe. My hope is that this brief mindfulness practice can support you through anxiety, depression, fear, insecurities, grief, or chronic pain.
