The Healing Power of Self-Compassion

Self-Compassion is the number one thing I see missing in a lot of religion, wellness, healing practices and even therapy. It is also the most transformative practice I have lived and witnessed.

We are programmed toward fixing more than self- compassion. A lot of our fixing comes from internalized shame, and that shame is driving our need to fix things that need love and compassion more than anything else.

Bad religion teaches people to shame themselves more than love themselves. Even without religion, the secular world’s obsession with fitness, losing weight, feeling good all the time, anti-aging, looking a certain way, etc. covertly indoctrinates us in self-hate. It does not say, “ You don’t need fixing. I trust you and your path. I love you.”

Even the  idea of healing can come from a “something is wrong with you that needs fixing” kind of place. Healing is much more about transforming the way we care for and see ourselves. Many of us see ourselves through critical eyes rather than compassionate eyes. Self-compassion (including body compassion) is about learning to see with a new set of eyes – eyes that are more tender, loving and life-enhancing.

In this talk, you will learn:

• What self-compassion really is. Is it greater than love?
• How self-compassion helps calm our nervous system.
• How self-compassion allows our inner wisdom and Higher Self to emerge
• How self-compassion can connect you with a Loving Force in the Universe.
• A simple and compassionate practice you can use everyday.

Self-compassion is a healing balm the world needs. It is a doorway to showing compassion for others and becoming a channel for the Divine.

When you learn to infuse your life with self-compassion, you discover the vastness that lives in and guides you. Learning this takes time and intention and also brings more freedom and joy.
