Finding a place of Rest - Morning Meditation

Zen master and poet Thich Nhat Hanh was forcibly exiled from his native country of Vietnam more than 40 years ago. We visited the Buddhist monk at a Christian conference center in a lakeside setting of rural Wisconsin. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers stark, gentle wisdom for living in a world of anger and violence. He discusses the concepts of "engaged Buddhism," "being peace," and "mindfulness."

Are You Thriving Or Surviving? - Walk The Wu Wei #016

Mindfulness 2.0 – Week 1 Open Awareness Meditation — Week 1 (19 mins)– Glenda Irwin

Jennifer Racioppi’s journey through Somatic Experiencing has given her a life free of severe anxiety and post-traumatic stress. This audio interview will give you insight into why it worked for Jennifer and how it might work for you, too.

In this interview I talk with Jennifer Racioppi, who at 19, was diagnosed with two types of cancer and underwent a complete hysterectomy. You can imagine the impact that had on her.

But, Jennifer is a survivor.

Through happenstance and her willingness to keep moving forward, she discovered Somatic Experiencing work after hearing Peter Levine speak in San Francisco. Her journey through Somatic Experiencing has given her a life free of severe anxiety and post-traumatic stress. She’s learned to let herself and her body heal from her trauma and in her words, find her ‘rhythm’ in life.

Be sure to check out the work Jennifer does to help others over on her site: http://jenniferracioppi.com/

Paul Gilbert
Founder of Compassion Focused Therapy

Paul Gilbert is a pioneer of compassion-focused therapy. He’s a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Derby. In his work, he has drawn on insights from Buddhist tradition as well as evolutionary psychology. His compassion training teaches people to quieten critical or hostile inner voices in order to treat themselves more kindly. That can mean working on breath, posture and tone of voice. Learning to feel compassion towards ourselves is a skill that can be taught.

Cultivating the Compassionate Mind by Paul Gilbert

Mindfulness Of Emotion In The Body

Compassion is the tenderness of the heart when it encounters suffering. For the circle of compassion to flow it requires the care of those suffering around you but that circle must include one other being–yourself.
