Resources for Relaxation

CSC - Contemplative Sciences Center UVA

While all contemplative techniques relate to self-care, this category addresses thoughts that keep you down and hold you back, such as hard resistance to giving yourself a break, believing you don’t deserve the love or respect of others, and debilitating self-critique. These instructions invite listeners to affirm and accept the positive aspects of themselves and their lives. #calm #destress
