Easing into Self-Compassion, with Sean Fargo

Are you able to offer yourself loving-kindness in the midst of your moments of suffering? Sometimes, we find it far easier to extend compassion to others than to ourselves. But all beings everywhere are worthy of this grace, including us.  

In this episode, Sean Fargo helps us better understand self-compassion - what it is, and also, what it is not. Sean explains that self-compassion is not an all-or-nothing endeavor, and offers advice on how we might begin to ease into this feeling of self-love.
