Mindful Self-Compassion: Giving & Receiving

Self-Compassion is linked to increases in happiness, immunity, and authenticity; and decreases in stress, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and aging. This guided compassion practice acknowledges the importance of giving and receiving; we attend to ourselves first, monitoring if we’re resourced enough to give. The structure encourages sustained attention: inhale something for ourselves; exhale for another.

This was a powerful meditation for me that I have now done several times. This meditation has given me a way release and navigate powerful emotions in a more productive way. Thanks for guiding me through holding my own suffering and that of others. It’s something I’ve always done anyway, so it’s really helpful to have a healthier way to do it that feels productive and helpful! Thanks Katarina! LOVE this!
