Compassionate Friend Meditation
This is a guided imagery exercise to help you imagine a safe place, meet a compassionate figure there and get help, guidance, and loving presence from them. I lead you through this calming, nourishing and often profound practice.
Four-Stage Self-Compassion Practice
In this self-compassion practice, I guide you through four stages: adopting a more grounded and alert posture; using Compassionate Breathing; Supportive Touch; and Compassionate Self-Talk. Each of these stages builds on the last one, to help you feel calmer and more relaxed, soothe, and stabilise your nervous system, and generate feelings of kindness and compassion for yourself. A simple but highly effective practice that will help with your mental health and wellbeing.
Learning to Forgive Yourself: Talk & Practice
Many of us struggle with harsh Inner Critics, who berate us for every little thing we think, say, or do. If this resonates for you, your Critic will probably make you feel embarrassed or ashamed about each mistake you make, telling you it means you are a bad person, not good enough or flawed in some other way. In this powerful, healing talk and practice, I guide you through a technique I use with my clients, helping you first reframe whatever you feel bad about, before using a mantra that will promote forgiveness and inner transformation. Used daily, this practice will help you start being kinder and more compassionate to yourself, which will help you feel calmer, happier, and more at peace.
