연민주고받기 (Giving & Receiving Compassion)

A practice to step you through ways of activating your body's calming system; feeling grounded, sensing the rhythm of your breath, aware of an upright and receptive posture, physical touch and connection to a warm and friendly tone to your inner voice. Practicing this formally will assist you to come more readily to these skills informally in your everyday life when you need them.

Activating your calming-caring system

Learn to let go and dissolve your discomfort by diving into the cool, cleansing water of pure experience and now-ness. By bringing your attention first to the breath, and then to the whole body, Dr. Christiane Wolf expertly guides your awareness from the physical, to the emotional, to the mental, before opening up into boundless -- and choiceless -- awareness. A powerful way to access your inner Sky-Mind. "Watching thoughts...Let them go. Watch them like clouds move through the sky...The sky is not bothered by the clouds."

Cultivate, develop, and strengthen your awareness through the simple act of choosing to pay attention to each breath. This thirty minute plunge into the stillness of the body is the ideal way to do just that. In doing so, you'll discover that offering your best attention to the moment is actually an act of love. “By offering this time to yourself...to slow into the experience of your own being, you’re expressing your intention to be a better friend to yourself... to learn how to navigate the ups and downs of life with steadiness, with mindfulness, and with deep self respect.”
