Self Compassion for Nervous System Reset

It’s not always an instinctual go-to for us, but self-compassion is one of the most powerful forms of healing and restoration for our mental and physical well-being. In this meditation, mindfulness teacher Shamash Alidina offers three ways to show compassion for yourself when you’re stressed and need a reset. This practice from Shamash comes as a special sneak peek into the upcoming course The Seven Strengths. Along with a team of teachers, including Shamash, Melli O’Brien is leading this live, free, 7-day course designed to give you a practical framework for inner strength, so you can meet these uncertain times with calm, clarity, flexibility, and empowerment.
