Episode 3: The Experience of Self-Compassion

What is self-compassion? In this episode Brandon begins the episode by discussing the dual nature of compassion -- this ability to feel and be present for difficult experiences, while ALSO being able to extend tenderness and kindness to ourselves He goes on to elaborate how the practice of meditation, (which he defines as "becoming familiar with") enables us to cultivate self-compassion, the ability to extend to compassion to ourselves in times of difficulty, as a skill. Before closing out the episode, Brandon shares how at first these practices can seem stale -- or like we're "forcing it" -- but with time and practice, self-compassion can seem not just second nature -- but utterly natural!Want to hear the entire session? or learn more about Be MindPHL?
