Self Compassion Break

This practice is a web extra in the October issue of Mindful magazine where we look into the science and practice of meditating—not to push away your painful emotions, but to see and recognize those emotions with kindness and curiosity. By allowing ourselves to experience where tough emotions are present in the body, and opening up to them with love, we can cultivate a sense of peace and acceptance toward the imperfect nature of life. This meditation is guided by author and mindful self-compassion expert Kristin Neff. It’s designed for dealing with really difficult emotions, so if you're feeling something very difficult right now, this may be a good meditation for you.&nbsp; Show Notes Find more from Kristin Neff here:    And more from Mindful here:    Let us know what you thought of this episode of 12 Minute Meditation by leaving a review or by emailing .

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.
