Best for: harsh inner critic and self-judgement
This self-compassion practice begins with the breath, settling the body before the work of attention turns inward. You'll explore the gap between the tone you naturally use with a hurting friend and the harsher voice reserved for yourself, then practise closing it. Through guided reflection and gentle phrasing, you'll learn to direct the same warmth, patience, and understanding toward your own struggles. A grounding session for anyone who finds it easier to be kind to others than to themselves.
