Here’s a practice to guide you through your darkest times with compassion, mindfulness and gentleness. It was created by Dr Kristin Neff and it's called the self-compassion break. Rather than shutting down or locking ourselves in a battle of endless hurt, self-compassion offers us a way to develop kindness, awareness and inner peace in the middle of it all. May this practice be a supportive source of inner strength and comfort in the days ahead.
