“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”
– Brené Brown
This mindfulness practice provides a nonjudgemental space to notice what you’re feeling emotionally, physically and mentally. It will guide you in tuning in to your self nonjudgmentally. Please note that this recording ends to provide the last 5 minutes of self-practice in silence.
This mindfulness practice introduces one of many ways to practice self-compassion. You will have the chance to identify negative beliefs about yourself and apply compassion to others and then to yourself. Please know that backdraft can occur in self-compassion exercises, which means it can feel emotionally overwhelming if self-criticism has been automatic for you for some time.
This exercise can be helpful for many areas, especially anxiety and sleep issues. This may help slow down your heart rate and allow you to feel more at ease. I personally use this exercise for myself several times a week and I hope that you find it as helpful. Please note that this recording ends to provide the last 5 minutes of self-practice in silence.
This exercise can help cultivate non-reactivity if you struggle with impulsivity or obsessive-compulsive thoughts/urges. However, it can also be helpful to practice as a way to generally exercise mindfulness, slow down or create distress tolerance.
