The Breathing Space with Kindness is a short informal practice, suitable to do at any moment in your everyday life when you are in need of a pause. The first phase invites you to be mindfully present with whatever arises. The second phase invites to gather attention on the breath. his phase is expanded with allowing a Soothing Breathing Rhythm to emerge, a basic practice in Compassion Focused Therapy. In the third phase you widen the field of awareness to the body as a whole. This phase is expanded with attuning to your deeper needs and allowing a kind wish to yourself to come up and letting the words flow through you on the rhythm of the soothing breath. Enjoy this soothing practice with Erik, the creator of Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living (MBCL), a deepening course for those who have already followed MBSR or MBCT.
