Compassion Practice For Uncomfortable Emotions

This meditation is designed to work with discomfort that arises after moments of regret, embarrassment, or shame. Instead of burying or ignoring those emotions, the purpose of this practice is to meet them face to face and then to grant ourselves the care and compassion needed to make peace with them. It is most useful in a solitary setting for at least ten minutes, especially in a spot that's quiet, calm, and safe. It may be used in groups, but might be more appropriate for individual use.
