Self Compassion Is Not For Sissies

Let's start by stating that self-compassion is not selfish. Notice how you feel when you honor your trials and tribulations and all that you've been through and all that you've overcome and all that you've achieved and all that you've grown through, suffered through and emerged from. Now, when all is right inside and you feel cared for - by you! Then it is a natural response to extend that sense of understanding, compassion and empathy for another. As humans, we inherently relate.

Thank you for this!!!!!! I loved this and found your words very fitting. It helped me explore some areas where I was still being too hard on myself and I certainly appreciate that!

Wow, this is an amazing self compassion meditation, really great use of wording for gentleness and kindness. Thank you 🙏♥️

The reminders and reflections were gentle and meditative. The meditation was soothing and nurturing. I love the music in the background. Thank you for this... going on my favorites list.

Your voice is very relaxing, gentle, and comforting. Thank you!!

I had commented, on a different meditation, that your voice was extremely low and the bell was very loud. On this meditation the volume of your voice matched together nicely. The volume was still rather low.

Wow, I needed this meditation. Done in such a peaceful, beautiful way.

Beautiful words! Incredibly calming voice with the quiet chanting in the background is serene!

Thanks for the self care boost. I need a reminder now and then to look out for me.

I love this. Every now and then, I find I need external "permission" for my self-care and self-compassion practices. This did so in a beautifully calming, soothing, supportive, and understanding way. Bookmarked and downloaded.

My only note is that after the closing chine, the background chant does not fade out but rather stops abruptly. This was a trifle disconcerting, but since the closing chine had already sounded, I was already returning to full environmental awareness and thus it wasn't as jarring as it might otherwise have been. Other than that, though, this was a stunningly simple yet highly effective practice, one I will return to often, I think.

Thank you for sharing this with me and the world. I see the light in you. 🤲❤️🤲

This meditation went straight to my inner being. I will return to it often.
