Compassionate Image Practice

This compassionate image practice from Compassion-Focused Therapy uses visualisation to support us to imagine compassion flowing into ourselves from a compassionate person, being, or animal. It is ok if we haven't felt loved and cared for to do this practice, what matters is creating an image that is ideal for you. Sometimes people experience difficult emotions with this practice; see if you can bring a kindly awareness to this and choose wisely what feels right for your practice.
