Hi All, watching this from Ireland :-). I missed this before all of the videos were released for another 36 hrs and I was so happy I had a chance to watch it. I’ve been listening to Kristins Self Compassion audio book over the last few weeks as I was doing a mindful self compassion course before it had to be put on hold due to the corona virus. I have practiced mindfulness for a few years now and I’ve learnt so much recently about the self compassion practice and I’ve been trying to practice this style a lot more. it does really help when times are tough and when trying to figure out and deal with a tough situation. Thanks so much for this video Kristin and the practice at the end 🙂

I’ve definitely experienced the burn out of continuous compassion for others. I also acutely feel when there is a lack of compassion from others.

Great way to bring into focus, that we are compassionate towards others more readily than to ourselves. This made me take a u-turn and look at myself!! Thanks to Kristin Neff for sowing the seeds of self compassion, and now it’s upto me to nuture!!

I’ve always enjoyed Kristen Neff’s talks as well as her Books. Her Self-Compassion book and work book is a treasure to keep.thank you for your guided talks and your compassion as well. I have a grandson of whom I’m his fulltime caretaker as well. So thank you, and I’ll keep you and your family in prayer as well.

A clear brief summary of a great deal of hard work done to create a robust evidence base for how real resilience comes from practising self compassion together rather than competing for self esteem

Thanks Kristin

Kristin Neff has the ability to present the material in such an easy manner that it’s hard to believe she is an academic and not a spiritual teacher!

She is clear, patient, and entertaining in her talks and puts you at ease right away.
