In this week's episode, we explore the concept of self-compassion and why it's important to be kind and nurturing to ourselves during difficult times. We learn about the differences between loving-kindness, which is associated with joy and wellness, and compassion, which recognizes and holds suffering. We will also practice a self-compassion meditation using RAIN, which involves recognizing, allowing, investigating, and nurturing difficult emotions with kindness and care.
