A Moment of Self-Compassion, A Meditatio...

Sean Fargo
About this episode

When we’re going through difficult times, it’s easy to think we’re alone in our pain or that our hardships will never end. But challenging times are a normal part of being human. Embracing such moments as opportunities for self-compassion can help bring ease to our anguish. 

In this guided meditation with Sean Fargo, we’re invited to journey through the foundations of self-compassion. We bring mindfulness to a challenging moment, recognize we’re not alone in our suffering, and give ourselves the same loving-kindness we would offer to a good friend.

Please listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.
