Fierce Friend: Self-Compassion Meditation

This practice is based on Dr. Kristin Neff's concept of fierce self-compassion. Dr. Neff teaches that there are two complementary forms of self-compassion: tender and fierce. Tender self-compassion involves kindness, caring, and gentleness with self and others. But fierce self-compassion is strong, powerful, and assertive, helping you stand up for yourself and protect yourself when you need to.

In this guided meditation, Dan leads you through a powerful process of meeting your fierce friend, who will offer you wise teachings about what you need in your life. Used often, this will help you become stronger, more confident, and able to deal with even the most challenging people.
