5 Step Path From Overwhelm To Compassion

The other day during a vulnerability hangover, I recorded an especially helpful audio meditation for the Compassion Club Private Podcast.

I'd like to share it with my community here because I appreciate you! It's going to be especially helpful for those of you who are ready to tread the transformative path from all-out resistance and overwhelm, through vulnerability, to self-compassion.

You don’t need to sit or formally meditate. Just listen.

It'll give you a good idea what you'll find in your podcast feed after you sign up for the Private Podcast for just $7 a month. Enjoy this taste, and I hope you'll come back for more.

If you've built protective walls to keep you safe, you're not alone. But now you're ready for a vaster field of presence so you can shed the guilt, judgment, and overwhelm...

...and breathe.

When you're suffering and searching for self-compassion, you may be thinking, "But I'm already feeling so vulnerable! I can't take it. I need to numb out. This is too much!!!"

Right over that hill you can't quite see beyond, self-compassion is waiting for you. 

Trust this path, but take it slow.

Titrate toward beauty and joy, and back. Take breaks, and return. Journal, dance, shake, share and work through your thoughts, and then return to the path and follow it to the end. Continue until it is a well-worn path.

I share a bit of my personal process in this meditation to show an example of being in the mess and befriending my protective parts. 

Learn the 5 steps so you can apply them to the next moment of suffering.

Remember, you're not alone.
