We are excited to share with you a new set of Compassionate Mind Guided Practices, recorded with Paul in May 2024, which you can find above. We're developing more of these kinds of resources, so we'd REALLY appreciate your feedback on this new set, and to hear any ideas of what you might like us to provide in the future - our feedback survey will take just a couple of minutes.
Here are some beautiful Soothing Rhythm Breathing exercises from Matt Le Mare. In addition to a SRB guided practice, Matt offers us variations on this with different accompaniments - heartbeat, music, sea and a woodland brook. You can also enjoy these accompaniments on their own without words. i
