Practicing Compassion for Self & Others
So often in life we move away from ourselves when we are in pain or upset, rather than moving toward ourselves with compassion and presence. We are deeply conditioned to patterns of self-abandonment, withholding love and care from ourselves – much like it was lacking for us as children. We distract, ignore, shut down, numb with our addiction of choice, or even scold ourselves.
Self-compassion and self-love – recognizing our own worthiness – is powerfully healing. In this webclass, we will explore the practice of self-compassion.
