Guided Meditations for
Self-Compassion
From The Self-Compassion Skills Workbook.
Listening to Suffering in the Body
Practice Question
During this type of practice, your suffering will either express a positive intention (it’s trying to meet a need, it wants your help, it’s trying to protect you, etc.) or it will express hostility.
- If you hear hostility, go to Practice 6: When Compassion Is Difficult.
- If you hear a need or positive intention, engage in compassionate dialogue with this part of yourself.
