Every month, I send out a Self-Compassion newsletter where I offer practices and inspiration for cultivating self-compassion. Please read through the archive below, and sign up for future self-compassion newsletters here.
Guided Meditation
Embodying Self-Compassion ~ this 30-minute meditation leads you through a practice to help you tap into the power of willingness, even if in this moment you feel like you don’t know how to actually relate to yourself with compassion.
