A Compassionate Companion
Offered by Erik, A Compassionate Companion is a soothing, mindfulness-based imagery practice. You do not need to work hard, let your imagination do the work. Imagery is often fleeting, and does not need to be visual. Allow all senses to be involved with imagening a compassionate being, which may come from memory or fantasy, or both. Mindfully notice how the body, mind and heart respond. All experiences belong to the practice, both pleasant and unpleasant. Invite your imagination to create a being that accepts you just the way you are, with whatever you may experience right now, including what you find hard to accept yourself. You can revisit the practice as often as you like, being open to whatever emerges in the moment. This is the second session of Erik's Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living (MBCL), a deepening course for those who have already followed MBSR or MBCT. Become familiar with the practices Breathing Space with Kindness and A Safe Place before you do this one.
