Self-Compassion Meditation, with Sean Fargo

Self-compassion is a virtue that can be cultivated through meditation. Expand self-compassion by acknowledging your pain, remembering your common humanity, and sending yourself and all others love and well-wishes.

 

In this episode, Mindfulness Exercises founder, Sean Fargo, leads us in a 20-minute meditation for self-compassion. The practice begins with an invitation to recall a challenging moment in our lives. Choose a workable memory that allows you to remain within your window of tolerance. Sean then guides us through a gentle exploration of this experience.
